Totally unrelated, but very cool!

My desktop theme is named similarly, because it's earthy like light coffee grounds.

Is the dikuMUD engine not sufficient? Why build your own?

A couple of reasons, really.

  1. I needed an interesting project to experiment with architecture and paradigms.
  2. A strong personal portfolio is great leverage when negotiating professional pay.
  3. I've seen the diku source, and all due respect to the godparents, but it's not a codebase I want to work in. I also want to create a new engine that makes it easier to create extensions that tap into more modern technological advances, like story telling AI.
