An Achaea.com MUD client.
- https://mud.fandom.com/wiki/Achaea,_Dreams_of_Divine_Lands
- https://iloveit.net/game/achaea -- I love It: Achaea
Because it's an interesting programming project and a good challenge. This is the only Achaea client made "from scratch", starting from Telnet, all the way up. Obviously, there are some third party JavaScript libraries, but it's a completely new client.
- captures lots of GMCP states in a big state tree
- persistent logging of the game text, all GMCP events and your input commands
- one persistent DB for each character, which records rooms, items, players, etc.
- when you run WARES, all the prices are saved in DB; you can find them in the game with
//find wares <item> - when you run QWHO, all the players are saved in DB; you can find them with
//find whois <name> - when you HONOURS (or WHOIS) somebody, the info is also saved in the DB
- when you walk around, the room info, all items and NPCs are saved in the DB; you can find items with
//find item <name>and NPCs with//find npc <name> - the official Achaea map is included and you can search for rooms and areas with
//map room <name>or//map area <name> - you can auto-walk to any room on the map, if there is a path in the official Achaea map
- auto selfishness, using the
//greedcommand; if a thief is making you generous, the selfishness is triggered immediately
Has a cute browser GUI. I think it's cute. GUI features:
- you can see the live map, if the room exists in the official Achaea map. Most of the areas are mapped.
- you can double click on any room to try to auto-walk, if there is a path
- you can see the room NPCs, items and players; when a player or NPC is entering or leaving the room, the list is instantly updated
- click on a player or NPC to trigger a "probe item", or "honours player" command
- you can see your level, experience, defences and afflictions
- tells, says and other communications are visible on the right side
- you can expand the map with
Ctrl+Mand expand the communications withCtrl+, - of course you can see the game log right in the middle!
- your input command history is kept in the browser storage; you can go up or down in the history
- local curing
- defence keepup
- limb tracker
- enemy tracker
- many, many others

This is a Bun project. Git clone this repository, Bun install, then run:
$ bun main.ts <NAME>
The name is your Achaea character and it's used to create the local DB with your name.
You need to open a browser on http://127.0.0.1:18888/ ; type your password and start playing Achaea.
You can skip typing your password if you setup an ENV variable with the name if your character, like: "NAME_PASSWD". Eg: if your character is called "Sarapis", you can define the password for this character with export SARAPIS_PASSWD=.... When you play "Sarapis", the password will be typed for you.
Testing/ simulation mode:
$ NODE_ENV=test bun main.ts --fake 1 --telnet 0 <NAME>
Fake mode allows you to launch the GUI without connecting to the live game. This is used for development of the interface.
