NPK MUD-like environment / News: Recent posts

The Network Project for Knowledge is considering stopping the development of the MUD-Like Environment. The main reason is that the people who have started it have no further free time to continue the development project of MLE.

However, the NPK will enthusiastically encourage everyone to work on it. Any person (especially those who program in C) may get here on SourceForge.net any version of the NPK MUD-Like Environment source and do anything with it.... read more

We have just made a small update on our website. We decided do keep the old one in a separate directory. As we are now using SorceForge.Net, we are using its news, forums, trackers and so on.

We are going to maintain a list of some interesting links. We cannot asure that they will always be available, but we will try so select some diverse and usefull stuff. We will also add to that list the sites that have some kind of friendship with NPK.

As Freedom2Surf has decided to stop the free webhosting service, we have just moved the old website into SourceForge.Net.

You can check it at http://npk-mle.sourceforge.net

We are not going to update those old pages. You probably may want to read them if you want to know something more about how all this has started.

However, some sections, like Downloads and News are now at our project page here at SourceForge.Net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/npk-mle... read more

We have just released a new version of NPK MUD-Like Environment that has a MLE version of the classic game Sokoban.

Some features are still under development, but it seems to be working ok. Also, it hasn't been translated to other languages yet, but it will as soon as we finish the translation of the previous version.

The evels we have included were taken from other Sokoban games. Although those levels are very widespread among GPL opensource programs, we are not very confident about the copyright of them. But - good news - we've contacted a sokoban maps builder and we have something like one hundred levels to implement as we want, with no limitation. It means that we are going to have a nice Sokoban game soon ;)... read more

NPK MUD-Like Environment is growing up. The number of people involved in the project is increasing, the number of ready features is also increasing, and the number of projected features is growing too!

We have the ideas, and we are doing all we can for now. Feel free to post your suggestions in the 'Features Requests' section, or in the 'Forums' :)

For now, we decided to give a new name to present releases: Afrodite. NPK MLE now supports descriptions for both players and rooms, and in four different languages (English, Portuguese, French and Spanish).... read more

MOOsaico completed 8 years online last 7th January 2002. It is a portuguese multilingual MOO that is inspiring the NPK MUD-Like Environment.

We have opened a new package in order to distribute some files that are not directly related to the MUD-Like Environment but that may still be usefull or interesting for you.

For now, we have released some poems, compiled for DOS/Windows. The poems are not 'Opensource', but the code is. This means that you may use the code to create/develop other text-mode presentations, but you are not supposed to use the text on the poem without permission. ... read more

The first version of NPK MUD-Like Environment has just been released (we hope the files will be ok and available in some minutes).

From now on, there will be periodical releases of this package. But things are going not very fast. Maybe we will consider placing an help-request add here on SourceForge...

Stay around ;)

The first NPK MLE files that have been released are the sources that were fully functional, but probably won't be used in that way.

Inicially, NPK MLE was supposed to be implemented as a shell add-on, i.e., a collection of small programs that would add several commands to the user's system shell (bash, msdos, csh, etc.).

However, in unix systems, it didn't allow us to implement some functions in a portable way. So, we decided to create our own shell. It won't be able to process scripts or batch files, but it will enable NPK MLE to work as we want it to.... read more

NPK is now using Sourceforge.net, but we still have our main homepage at http://www.npk.f2s.com
