Lyntin is a MUD client and development framework created using Python programming language. It offers versatile and robust features for developers to create their own multi-user dungeon games with ease.
One of the great features of Lyntin is that it exposes the Python interpreter, which allows for more freedom than mere "if you see this then send this" aliases and triggers. Your code can interface with Lyntin's code, and they can be Python functions that can do anything from setting a variable to forking a web spider. Lyntin is perfect for those who want a mud client that they can adjust to suit their needs, one that has a sophisticated API for enhancing and building bots/agents/triggers.
Lyntin is compatible with all your machines and has a text UI and a TK GUI. It also works over SSH/Telnet. However, if you prefer wizards and menus to the command line or dislike Python, this software may not be for you. If you are looking for fancy bells and whistles in the UI, you may also want to consider other options.
The new release of Lyntin brings several improvements, including fixing logs of bugs, adding a new cursesUI, and optimizing the usage of filter_mapper style hooks. Most of the managers have undergone an overhaul, removing unused methods/functions, simplifying the code, and making some fixes. Additionally, the variable storage has been moved from the VariableData objects to the Session object, enhancing the #@ command to behave more like the python interpreter command line, and adding tab completion mechanics to TK and curses user interfaces.
Overall, Lyntin is an excellent choice for those who want a flexible and versatile MUD client and development framework. It is well-suited for those who are comfortable with Python and prefer a customizable command line interface over a GUI-based one.
