NAME

Games::Axmud - Axmud, a modern Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) client written in Perl5 / Gtk3

SYNOPSIS

Axmud is known to work on MS Windows, Linux and *BSD. It might be possible to install it on other systems such as MacOS, but the authors have not been able to confirm this yet.

After installation (see the README.rst file), visually-impaired users can run this script

    baxmud.pl

Other users can run this script

    axmud.pl

Using either script, you can specify a world to which Axmud connects immediately

    axmud.pl empiremud.net 4000

If you omit the port number, Axmud connects using the generic port 23

    axmud.pl elephant.org

If a world profile already exists, you can specify its name instead

    axmud.pl cryosphere

You can force Axmud to use a particular text-to-speech engine by adding the engine's name to the end of those commands. This overrides (almost) all other text-to-speech settings.

Acceptable engine names are 'espeak', 'esng' (for espeak-ng), 'flite' (for Festival Lite), 'festival', 'swift' and 'none' (for the dummy engine, which produces no sound). For example:

    baxmud.pl empiremud.net 4000 esng
    axmud.pl cryosphere festival

Note that on MS Windows, Flite is not supported, and other speech engines are assumed to be installed in their default locations.

DESCRIPTION

Axmud is a modern Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) client written in Perl 5 / GTK 3. Its features include:
