Battlesnake¶
Battlesnake is a Softcode supplement/replacement bot for BattletechMUX.
The typical BattletechMUX requires numerous complex systems to function. For example:
- Mech ref libararies
- Economic simulations
- Stores for purchasing/selling commodities and parts
- Player stat tracking
- Bulletin board systems
While these have all been successfully built and maintained in softcode, maintenance and future expansion can be very slow. Softcode is a poor choice for larger systems.
There are also things that can’t be done in-game without the help of hardcode modifications or logfile workarounds:
- Sending emails
- Communication with arbitrary databases/data stores
- Web-based character creation
- Integration with messenger services
- Utilization of social media
Battlesnake aims to supplement or replace large chunks of softcode in your game, while also opening up any external services you’d like to use.
