This project aims to further develop the programming language MOO as implemented in the LambdaMOO Server
One of the things I do too much of. MOO is an online, interactive, user-modifiable and extendable, text-based environment. I help run three different educational MOOs (one of those on a very part-time basis), and one social MOO. I also have characters on more other MOOs than I really care to count, but I only log in regularly to about ten or so. See? I told you I did too much of this stuff. (10/2002) I don't do nearly as much of it now as I did when this journal started but it's still a part of my life and I still have good friends there, but it's been a long time since I made any new friends through the medium so I expect the downward trend will continue.
Multi-user dimension, Object-Oriented. MOOs are a form of synchronous communication, similar to Chat rooms, with users communicating through the keyboard. MOOs are a very simple type of virtual reality, and users can pick up objects and navigate around rooms by typing in special commands. Although users communicate through text, it is possible to add images to MOOs. MOOs and MUDs have their origins in role-playing games. To find out more, read Lee et al. (1999) Guide to Online Teaching: Existing Tools and Projects.
ud, bject riented] One of several kinds of multiuser simulated environments (also defined as multiuser communities), primarily text-based, but also developing into visual environments (see The Palace. The object orientation allows items that can be manipulated within the environment.
A MUD that is object orientes. MOOs are subseset of MUDs. The programming instructions of a MOO allow users to alter the domain.
Multiple user dimension, Object Oriented; a text-based online space where many people can communicate simultaneously at scheduled times.
Modular Object Orientation. The MOO acronym has risen from a need to distinguish language based object orientation from the Pandora Engine's concept of organising objects into modules and managing them in run-time.
MOO - LambdaMOO Server"LambdaMOO is a network-accessible, multi-user, programmable,interactive system well-suited to the construction of text-basedadventure games, conferencing systems, and other collaborative software."http://sourceforge.net/projects/lambdamoo
text-mediated virtual environments accessed via the Internet
Multi-user Object Oriented This is used to refer to the language in which GrassRoots is programmed as well as to GrassRoots itself.
Multi Object Oriented. For more information, click here. Newbie A newbie is a new player to MOOing and or VirtuaPern.
A MOO (Multi-User-Domain Object Oriented) can be described as a type of on-line computer game where users can build their own environment and communicate with other 'players'. There are MOOs designed specifically for language learning."
A multi-user domain (originally dungeon), object-oriented. A networked, text-based virtual reality that allows for multiple connections and interactions.
An object-oriented MUD, often with an educational or academic orientation.
(Mud, Object Oriented) -- A multi-user role-playing environment. See Also: MUD , MUSE
MUD object-oriented. Any multi-user domain (MUD) created with an object-oriented language.
MOOs (Multi-user Object Oriented virtual environments) are text-based, virtual reality sites that allow people to connect to the same place at the same time and permit synchronous communication.
A MOO is an object oriented MUD.
Multi-user (object oriented): a text-based virtual environment derived from the first multi-user adventure games. Once connected to a MOO, users can "move around" and interact with one another.
Multi-user Object-Oriented. A kind of multi-user environment suitable for online gaming.
A MUD created with an object-oriented programming language.
one of several kinds of multi-user role-playing environments, so far only text-based. See also: MUD
Acronym for a lot of things, on of which is Multi-user-dimension Object Oriented. They are multimedia, interactive environments in virtual space. Formerly in the confines of Telnet, MOOs now have taken advantage of the WWW.
MUD Object Oriented. Users in MOOs are able to create their own content - both static and dynamic objects.
An acronym for an Internet game meaning MUD, Object Oriented.
Similar to a MUD, but the enabling software is written in an object-oriented manner. This allows persons unfamiliar with the intricacies of the software to be able to set up and manage a MOO.
Multiuser Object-Oriented environment. Derived from MUD (Multiuser Dungeon), MOO offers people a way to communicate in real time with objects using just a shell account.
ulti-user domain, bject riented. A MUD that uses object-oriented methodology. A MOO is typically easier for novice users to understand and manipulate than a non-object oriented MUD.
A type of MUD (See below). The acronym stands for 'MUD Object Oriented' and refers to the technology used which differs from that used in MUDs.
Pron. "Moo". MUD Object-Oriented. An environment similar to MUD, but with different commands. Where MUD is often a dungeon-game type environment, MOOs tend to be more social or conversationally oriented. See also: MUD
(Mud, Object Oriented) - A multi-user environments where people role play and interact in real-time using objects.
MUD, Object-Oriented; a multi-user role-playing environment (MUD) with an object-based environment.
(Mud, Object Oriented) One of several kinds of multi-user role-playing environments.
(mud, object, oriented) An environment which allows more than one person to talk at one time, often also allowing display of emotions and object manipulation in a given environment.
An object-oriented MUD (multi-user dungeon).
The MOO programming language is a programming language used to support the MOO system. It is a dynamically typed prototype based object oriented system, with syntax roughly derived from the Algol programming language school of programming languages.
A MOO (MUD object oriented) is a type of MUD and is a text-based online virtual reality system to which multiple users are connected at the same time.
