CreatureProgramming

How to program your creatures

Introduction

As outlined in the Joining and Hello World introduction, this game is client/server based. Players connect to the Server using a telnet client. Once connected the player can join the game. Each player has his own Lua Environment. The Program running in each players environment controls movement and action of the creatures.
