A MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) Game built in Javascript backed by Django

This is personal project to build a text adventure game much like Zork.

Requirements for the game: The game UI will be a text input field and a text output area. The user will type commands, taking the form of

Examples of commands:

• go north
• give cup to girl
• open door
• look east

The game world consists of a grid of nodes. The player can explore by typing movement commands. When the player arrives on a new node, description text will output on the console.

If there are items, containers, or dungeons at the node, the player can take additional actions such as picking up the item, opening the container, or enter the dungeon, respectively.

The player may come across puzzles or riddles. For example, a safe might ask a riddle which the player must answer before it will open. The player can type the answer to the riddle which should trigger the container to open.
