A mudlib is a library of interpreted code used to create a MUD. In computer gaming, a MUD ( Multi-User Dungeon, Domain or Dimension) is a multi-player computer game that combines elements of It is interpreted code usually written in the LPC language. The LPC programming language is an Object-oriented Programming language derived from C and developed originally by Lars Pensjö to facilitate The code is interpreted on the fly by a driver. Popular drivers are MudOS, LDMud, LPMud and DGD. LPMud (sometimes shortened to simply " LP " is a MUD variant developed in 1989 by '''L'''ars '''P'''ensjö (hence the LP in LPMud that LPMud (sometimes shortened to simply " LP " is a MUD variant developed in 1989 by '''L'''ars '''P'''ensjö (hence the LP in LPMud that
The driver acts as a virtual machine while the mudlib acts as an operating system by defining how the game is played and controlling the game. In Computer science, a virtual machine (VM is a Software implementation of a machine (computer that executes programs like a real machine An operating system (commonly abbreviated OS and O/S) is the software component of a Computer system that is responsible for the management and coordination
