Project status
Development has started. No usable server exists yet. No usable client exists yet.
Features
Eventually the game will feature:
- RPG (role-playing game) elements
- Hack-and-slash playstyle
- PvP (player versus player)
- Online chat
Running the client
Download the pre-compiled binary for your platform (links provided above).
Execute the binary to start the client.
./hypermud-client
The client will prompt you for which server it should connect to.
The hostname and port field will contain the name of the last
server you have successfully connected to. If you have never
connected to any server before then this field will be pre-filled
with the hostname and port of the official server;
mystery.hypermud-game.com:2022.

Want to run your own server?
Downloads:
64-bit Linux server, v0.0.0(not yet available)64-bit Windows server, v0.0.0(not yet available)64-bit macOS server, v0.0.0(not yet available)
Execute the binary to start the server.
./hypermud-server
By default the HyperMUD: Mystery server
runs on port 2022. If you want to run it on
another port, provide -p and desired
port number as argument to the binary.
For example, to run the server on port 9022:
./hypermud-server -p 9022
Want to build the client from source?
If you want to build the client from source you will need a recent version of the Rust toolchain installed.
Get the Rust toolchain from https://rustup.rs/
Building the latest stable release of the client
Note: The latest stable release of the client will always correspond to the latest pre-built binary version. So if all you want is to have the latest stable release of the client, all you need to do is to download the prebuilt binary for your platform.
With that being said, if you still want to build the latest stable release of the client from source, here's what to do:
cargo install hypermud-client
The above command will download the required source file release packages from crates.io and build and install the client.
If you have your path set up correctly you will then be able to run the client that you just built:
hypermud-client
Building the current development version of the client
Note: The development version of the client is intended for development only. It might contain partially implemented features, and it might not be able to connect to the stable version of the server. In general, only developers should run this version, and they should connect to the corresponding development server version only.
So before you read on, you should first build and run the current development version of the server.
In the root of this repository, execute:
cargo build --bin hypermud-client
To run the client that you just built:
cargo run --bin hypermud-client -- -s localhost:3022
Want to build the server from source?
If you want to build the server from source you will need a recent version of the Rust toolchain installed.

Note: The development version of the server is intended for development only. It might contain partially implemented features, and stable clients might not be able to connect to the development version of the server. In general, only developers should run this version, and they should connect to it with the corresponding development version client only.
Clone this repository and then in the root of the repository, execute:
cargo build --bin hypermud-server
To run the server that you just built:
cargo run --bin hypermud-server -- -p 3022
With the current development version of the server running you should then build and run the current development version of the client.
