A little MUD- and MUDDL-inspired multiplayer text game.
- To play with Clojure / concurrency in the context of a multiplayer game;
- To explore making text-based games in the MUD heritage;
- To play with plain-text representations of game worlds along the lines of what the original MUD software used.
This is a "sandbox" text game in progress with limited features so far:
- YML-based initial world state
- Move from room to room via (currently) six directions
- Pick up and drop things
- Talk out loud
- Look around or at things
- Look at the entire game state(!)
- NPCs (that don't do anything yet)

Welcome to Ballomud, Margoloth.
You are in the hearth room. There is a heavy
stone table here near a great fireplace lined
with glazed red tile. To the south lies the mud
room. There is a ladder leading up to an attic.
Also here: John.

You are in the mud room. Through the outside
door to the south you see a great wood. The
doorway on the north side opens to the hearth.
>>> south
You are in the woods. Trunks and heavy
overgrowth obscure your view in all directions.
Just to the north is a small hut, with door
ajar.
>>> south
You're in the deep forest. Brush and vines grow
and dangle all about you. The forest is
somewhat less dense to the north.
>>> north
The great forest.

You hear a soft breeze blowing.
