This is the code repository for the tutorial series where we're using Swift and NIO to create a MUD game.
You can find the playlist for the tutorials here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhUrOtMlcKDAa0_WYh_J4vQ6Lzw0DvLLK
Feel free to create issues if you find any bugs.
Use the release: https://github.com/maartene/NIOSwiftMUD/releases/tag/YouTube to get the source code after the YouTube series (without subsequent improvements).
Note: changes have been made after the YouTube series. In particular:
- Commands are no longer enum based, and no longer parsed in switch statements. Commands are now a protocol that specific commands can adhere to. In other words, we now use polymorphism to steer behaviour.
Sessionis now a Protocol, whereas theMudSessionis a specific implementation (that keeps track of channels). This way, the model is no longer dependant on knowledge about NIO, offering the option of stand alone testing.SessionStorageis now part of the model and works on generic instances of theSessionprotocol instead of concrete type.- Doors (use the 'OPEN_DOOR ' command.
