Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but this seemed to be the most logical place to put this (please move it if it's not).
I have a couple of questions for those of you who know MUDDLE:
1) Points are assigned to an object using "points: [0,145]". Can someone explain to me what the two figures mean? Minimum and maximum? How about the current value?
2) The mass of an object is defined using "mass: [0,50]". Again, can someone explain what the two figures mean? I suspect that the first is some indication of size (or bulk) and the second is the weight, but what are the units? Pounds, ounces, kilograms, grams?
3) (OK more than a couple) The same with nutrition: "nutrition: [0,15]". Again, what are the units here?
Many thanks in advance for any help with this.
If you'd rather go through this off-forum, please let me know.
Cheers,
Paul.

Is this the MUSE MUDDLE he was talking about? If so, is there a compiler with documentation out there? My guess is that they stopped licensing this stuff long ago but who knows...

As far as I recall there are 2 parts to it, to aid transportability.
Database and compiler or interpreter.
I think Richard Bartle covers it on his MUD web site and / or QBlog.

Large numbers (larger than 16 bit could hold anyway) - high part, low part.

I got this reply from the person you mentioned.

Or, if they want the same amount of pain over a shorter duration they can poke their eyes out with darts. |

It looks like I'm never going to be able to reverse engineer mud2 after all

It wouldn't be reverse engineering if you had source code would it?
