| | Indeed. If you give up, you won't get anywhere at all. I think the problem is that you started with a mountain, and not a plain or even a hill; coding a MUD really is non-trivial. You can still make it, though; Whiteknight's suggestions are good. Get a book, read it, learn. Practice by installing other people's snippets. Don't just install them blindly; try to see why they work. The most important thing to see is what they change. As you do this, you will learn how things fit together. If you try to tackle it all yourself, you will fail. Don't start big; start small and let things build up. That's the path to having a truly rewarding experience. :) |
