Did this ever run on ITS?

larsbrinkhoff commented 7 years ago

No. It's in the same category as ADVENT, DUNGEON, and Empire. Those would be add-ons beyond what the original ITS provided.

ADVENT and DUNGEON did run on ITS. We just don’t have the executables/sources. I don’t think MUD ever ran on ITS.

Ok, I was wrong about ADVENT and DUNGEON.

My thinking is that people may want to run the classic PDP-10 games. Some were developed in ITS (CHESS, ZORK). Some came from outside ITS, but were developed further (MAZE, SPCWAR). Some were mostly just ported to ITS (I believe this is the case with ADVENT and DUNGEON). And some never ran in ITS (MUD, DUNNET, EMPIRE).

Source code: https://github.com/PDP-10/MUD1

Needs Essex BCPL compiler.

Essex BCPL:
https://github.com/PDP-10/essex-bcpl

It's for TOPS-10.

larsbrinkhoff commented 6 years ago

@quentinnuk now has MUD built from sources and running in TOPS-10.

Should we try to run it in ITS? Maybe it can run as is in TEN50 or DECUUO.

I don't think this is so approprate for ITS. Or at least of such low priority it's unlikely to happen.
