Hello MUSH

For our first exercise, we’ll adapt the universal “Hello World” code example. We’re going to make use of the emit method on the client object.

The ruby command lets you execute arbitrary Ruby code from your MUSH client window and see the results, similar to how you might have done MUSHcode in the past. You can’t create entire commands or systems this way (unlike MUSHcode) but you can run little utilities and test things.

Try It!

In your MU client, type this:

ruby "Hello #{enactor.name}!"

The game should respond by saying hello to you.
