Look command now displays portals separately from ground items.
Portals at the player's position are shown after ground items with
the format "Portals: name1, name2". This separates portals from
regular items since they serve a different purpose in gameplay.
Containers now display their state when viewed:
- Closed containers show "(closed)"
- Open empty containers show "(open, empty)"
- Open containers with items show "(open, containing: item1, item2)"
This applies to both ground items in the look command and inventory items.
Added _format_thing_name helper to both look.py and things.py to handle
the display formatting consistently.
- Removed world module-level variable from look.py
- look.cmd_look() now uses player.location.get_viewport() instead of world.get_viewport()
- look.cmd_look() uses zone.contents_near() to find nearby entities instead of iterating global players/mobs lists
- Wrapping calculations use zone.width/height/toroidal instead of world properties
- Added type check for player.location being a Zone instance
- Removed look.world injection from server.py
- Updated all tests to remove look.world injection
- spawn_mob() and combat commands also migrated to use Zone (player.location)
- Removed orphaned code from test_mob_ai.py and test_variant_prefix.py
Phase 6: spawn command creates mobs at player position from loaded
templates. Server loads mob templates from content/mobs/ at startup,
injects world into combat/commands module, and runs process_mobs()
each game loop tick after process_combat().
Phase 3: look command now collects alive mob positions using the same
wrapping-aware relative position calc as players, and renders them as *
with the same priority as other players (after @ but before effects).
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
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.
1000x1000 tile world generated deterministically from a seed using
layered Perlin noise. Terrain derived from elevation: mountains,
forests, grasslands, sand, water, with rivers traced downhill from
peaks. ANSI-colored viewport centered on player.
Command system with registry/dispatch, 8-direction movement (n/s/e/w
+ diagonals), look/l, quit/q. Players see arrival/departure messages.
Set connect_maxwait=0.5 on telnetlib3 to avoid the 4s CHARSET
negotiation timeout — MUD clients reject CHARSET immediately via MTTS.
