MUD help?
Hello, I am beginning a project to better familiarize myself with Java and object-oriented programming. I have a lot of experience with C and MUDs (multi-user dungeons), but only a limited amount of experience with Java. I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to help me along and answer some questions that I am sure will arise.
What I am hoping for is someone who I can e-mail directly, who will be familiar with the project and what I am trying to do, rather than posting a message every time I can't figure something out, and everyone trying to figure out what the heck I'm talking about to begin with. If you are interested, reply to this or you can go ahead and e-mail me at williamsbm2000@yahoo.com ... it is sure to be a fun project. Thanks in advance,
Brian

Don't you know that it's not a good idea to post your email address here. The web-spider's will gather it and guarantee you an avalange of spam ;-)

If you want to familiarize yourself with OO concepts please take a look here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/
if you have specific questions you can post it here because I doubt anyone is giving you him/her mail address just to help you..
ps. i've looked on the net what a MUD is and creating a MUD game sounds like an interesting project to do in my summer vacation.
thanks for the idea.
I believe these forums are more for programmers that truly get stuck on some java issue after researching it for some time. I doubt anyone has the time to answer each question you may have as they come up when it would be easier for you to look it up on google or from a java book. If your new to Java, I suggest reading books on Java. If your planing on implementing a MUD in Java, I think you will need about 3 years experience in java web site design before even attempting such a large project. Even if you found someone willing to answer your questions via email, he can only give you answers to isolated questions and not the in depth knowledge you'll need.
Thanks for the tips. I have some Java books, and I have taken some Java classes in college, but you are probably right about needing more experience to tackle this project. I am going to stick with it though, and hopefully nobody gets tired of my questions :) So far, I have a server that will allow incoming connections, and I'm trying to take it a little bit at a time from there.
