SMAUG Snippets and Tippets

Hello, Valcados here. MUDding has been a hobby for many years, starting when I was a kid and SMAUG wasn't even published yet. I've been a SMAUG coder for almost a decade (and a builder even longer) and I'm one of the best in the community. I was head coder at Lands of Aethar for over half a decade (under the name Curufinwe). I've made major contributions to the SMAUGFUSS project, I'm proud of my code's exceptional robustness.

These days I'm a coder emeritus. I'm retired from regular coding, and I want to share my knowledge with fellow coders. Therefore I'll be publishing high quality SMAUG code snippets. Use them to enhance your MUD.

WALKTHROUGH: My newest contribution to the community, an excellent birds-eye walkthrough of the backbone of the SMAUG universe. I attempted to design this walkthrough to give some add some insight into the code no matter what level you're at.

MY BLOG: My main blog, where I write articles about things like language, communication, travel, and self-development. Be sure to check out my "Life Is A Game" articles!
