This is such an awesome, anachronistic mix of the shiny new and the internet of yore.
It's a shame MUDs expect you to be constantly interacting, I keep being slow and having them time out on me (then having to ;;reset to revive the session ...)
- someben 11y agoI've been tempted to send a "look" or "inv(entory)" command to keep-alive a session. Hmm...
- zyxley 11y agoSocial MU*s usually have a keepalive option that does some silent character exchange in the background with the client every so often to keep the connection open.
- someben 11y agoHmm, do you have a specific example? (Of the MUD and client?)
- novum 11y agoParent is most likely referring to the telnet GOAHEAD character and its related SUPPRESS GOAHEAD protocol: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc858 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc858 I am the author of a MUD client for iOS[0] that, like most other clients, will capture and silently discard the GOAHEAD character. GOAHEAD is most common on MUSHes but I've seen them in a few MUDs as well.
