This repo holds a lightly modified version of Diku Gamma from 1991. I've made a few changes to get it to build and run on a modern Linux system as well as MacOS/Darwin. It probably will compile on other Unix type systems as well, but no effort or testing has been done there.
This project exists as a steeping stone to re-implementing Diku in the Go programming language, as part of a video series I'm doing on Youtube. Developers wanting to build a new Diku-based mud in C are welcome to fork this repo and use it, but the two projects that follow should be much more interesting.
I don't intend to do future development on this repo but will consider bug report and PRs to allow building on more systems. I will be creating a new repository for the Go port of Diku, which will be compatible with standard Diku data files and perform identically to the original from a user perspective. A third repository will later be created with major enhancements in mind.
The Diku developers re-licensed Gamma as LGPL a few years ago and that license applies here as well.
