At last, the demo-fantasy game included with the Hexagon mudlib is fully functional. You can start the mudlib, choose a game, create a character, and test it. It has a full map with three towns, each of them with pub and shop, multiple npcs, several items, etc.

It is based in a very old newbie area made for the Reinos de Leyenda mud, circa maybe 1997. The code is new (as we use a different driver, from MudOS to DGD, and a new mudlib, from frmudlib to hexagon, and now it’s multilanguage, both in english and spanish), but the map and the names have been kept, as an homage.

You can take a look to the game, it is included with the mudlib as an example of how to create your own game. Take a look at it in /mudlib/games/demo-fantasy in the Hexagon repository.

Using the new packages functionality, I’ve added a new package to the Hexagon mudlib: the issue tracker.

The package adds its own command issues, where you can list, close, remove or open issues.

We can create new issues automatically, i.e. when a shop cannot load an item:

// create new issue, same message as npcs equipment
if (package("issues"))
  package("issues")->add_issue("Cannot clone " + file, this_object());

Changes and updates to the mudlib in its v1.21.09 Beregost version. This post will be updated during the spring and summer:

You drink a glass of liquor.

As you can see, food and drinks will recover partially your health, and alcoholic beverages will also affect your perception, getting your character drunk.
