Discworld Mudlib

The Discworld mudlib is an LPC framework, or mudlib, originally written for the Discworld MUD.

It has been regarded as one of the more advanced mudlibs around: according to Lauren Burka's MUD timeline, written in 1995, the Discworld mudlib was only the second widely available mudlib. At the time of its release it had the most advanced command parser and user interface available in a mudlib. It has been described as having "many concepts you will not see in other mudlibs for any server", as well as "too many frogs and wombles", possibly in reference to its frequent use of eccentric variable names such as "frog" and "womble".

Some design elements in the mudlib have become popular in other MUD libraries - for example, the library's player commands that express emotions are named "soul commands", and the way ANSI colour is encoded (e.g. %^BLUE%^) has been named "Pinkfish colour" after David Bennett, the main author of the library, who is widely known in the MUD community by his alias of Pinkfish.

Another notable MUD that uses this mudlib is Nanvaent.
