I’ve updated Chucho MUD to remove the dependency on Teensy MUD. I doubt my network code is as robust, but I’m glad to be rid of the dependency. Still, I owe Teensy MUD a lot for inspiration!

Also, I’ve started adding preliminary ERB support for descriptions (and, eventually, all output). Using ERB has even allowed some “markup”, e.g.

You see a < % red do %>red< % end %> flag.

All ERB parsing occurs in the Reporter—right before it’s sent to the client. Another example:

desc = %{\\
You are in the < %=room.name%>. You see < %= room.items.join(', ') %>. 
}

I’ll be adding more (consistent) support soon.
