Bonsoir café, It is my pleasure to announce version 0.4 of Yogurt, a functional MUD client. Version 0.4 makes Yogurt available as a standalone executable that is able to dynamically load and reload Yogurt scripts. Here is a small example of such a script:
module Minimal where
import Network.Yogurt
newmoon :: Session newmoon = session { hostName = "eclipse.cs.pdx.edu" , portNumber = 7680 , mudProgram = \reload -> do mkCommand "reload" reload }
Valid scripts define at least one session which is used to connect to the MUD. mudProgram fields are provided with a reload action that when invoked reloads the script without interrupting the MUD connection. Of course, Yogurt also still offers hooks, timers, logging, variables and more. The executable is released as a separate package so that developers wishing to use just the "pure" machinery can do that without inheriting dependencies on the GHC API or readline library. To install the executable, run: $ cabal update $ cabal install Yogurt -freadline $ cabal install Yogurt-Standalone Yogurt's new home page can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/yogurt-mud/ And on hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Yogurt http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Yogurt-Standalone I would love to hear your feedback! Suggestions, complaints, comments, bug reports, experiences et cetera are all welcome. Kind regards, Martijn.
