The DREAMBOOK always described "punch right/left [target]" as one command
with a direction argument, but the implementation had separate TOML files
and multi-word command names that the dispatcher couldn't reach (it only
matches the first word). Aliases like "pr" also couldn't pass targets
because the shared handler tried to re-derive the move from args.
Changes:
- Merge punch_left/right, dodge_left/right, parry_high/low into single
TOML files with [variants] sections
- Add command/variant fields to CombatMove for tracking move families
- load_move() now returns list[CombatMove], expanding variants
- Handlers bound to moves via closures at registration time:
variant handler for base commands (punch → parses direction from args),
direct handler for aliases and simple moves (pr → move already known)
- Core logic in do_attack/do_defend takes a resolved move
- Combat doc rewritten as rst with architecture details
- Simplify mud.tin aliases (pr/pl/etc are built-in MUD commands now)
Integrates the Editor class into the MUD server's shell loop, allowing
players to enter and use the text editor from the game.
Changes:
- Add editor field to Player dataclass
- Modify shell input loop to check player mode and route to editor
- Add edit command to enter editor mode from normal mode
- Use inp (not command.strip()) for editor to preserve indentation
- Show line-numbered prompt in editor mode
- Pop mode and clear editor when done=True
- Add comprehensive integration tests
- Fix test isolation issue in test_movement_updates_position
Parse MTTS from telnetlib3 writer during connection and store capabilities
on Player.caps field. Add convenience property Player.color_depth that
delegates to caps.color_depth for easy access by rendering code.
Changes:
- Add caps field to Player with default 16-color ANSI capabilities
- Parse MTTS in server shell after Player creation using parse_mtts()
- Add Player.color_depth property for quick capability checks
- Add tests verifying Player caps integration and color_depth property
Extended ansi.py with fg_256, bg_256, fg_rgb, and bg_rgb functions
for generating 256-color and truecolor escape sequences. All functions
include value clamping to valid ranges (0-255).
Parses MTTS bitfield values from telnetlib3 ttype3 into a ClientCaps dataclass.
Includes color_depth property that returns the best available color mode
(truecolor, 256, or 16) based on client capabilities.
Player state is now saved when using the quit command or when the connection
is lost unexpectedly. Ensures progress is preserved even without auto-save.
Adds login/registration prompts on connection, database initialization on
startup, and periodic auto-save every 5 minutes in the game loop. Player
state is now tied to authenticated accounts.
Implements account management with password hashing (pbkdf2_hmac with SHA256)
and constant-time comparison. Includes player state serialization for position
and inventory persistence across sessions.
Captures the combat-as-content architecture: moves are TOML files,
engine is a state machine (IDLE→TELEGRAPH→WINDOW→RESOLVE). Documents
move set, counter relationships, damage formulas, and how combat
initiation works without a dedicated fight command.
Scan content/commands/ for .toml files at startup and register them
as commands alongside Python-defined ones. Two flavors: handler-based
(points to a Python callable via module:function) and message-based
(auto-generates a handler from inline text). Includes example MOTD
command, type validation, error logging, and full test coverage.
Each cloud in the trail gets a slightly longer TTL than the one
before it (0.15s stagger). The origin cloud dissolves first, then
each subsequent tile follows. Two consecutive flights produce a
trail where the oldest clouds are already gone.
fly with no args toggles flying on/off. Movement commands (fly east,
etc) only work while airborne. "You aren't flying." if you try to
move without toggling on first. Player.flying field tracks the state.
fly <direction> moves the player 5 tiles, ignoring terrain. Leaves
a trail of bright white ~ clouds that fade after 2 seconds. Effects
system supports arbitrary timed visual overlays on the viewport.
TinTin aliases: fn/fs/fe/fw/fne/fnw/fse/fsw.
Tileable Perlin noise: each octave wraps its integer grid coordinates
with modulo at the octave's frequency, so gradients at opposite edges
match and the noise field is continuous across the boundary.
Coarse elevation grid interpolation wraps instead of padding boundary
cells. Rivers can flow across world edges. All coordinate access
(get_tile, is_passable, get_viewport) wraps via modulo. Movement,
spawn search, nearby-player detection, and viewport relative positions
all handle the toroidal topology.
