When you get a few minutes, try logging on to DaMOO and prepping for our
MOO discussion--
1: To log on, use the Cup o' Mud link on the left hand side of the
DaMOO
homepage.
2: You will log on in the Welcome room. Read the instructions
on the
screen-- some of the lines will scroll off; use the arrows on the right
side of the screen to move up and down and read all of the text.
3: When you have finished reading the screen instructions, try moving
around the MOO. To go from the Welcome room to the pub, for instance,
you
would first type the command: out . This will take you to the
West
Hallway. The last line on each screen will tell you the obvious exits--
to move in the MOO, type the exit you want to take. So, from the
West
Hallway, I will type: Left to get to the Pub.
4: To see where other people are, type @who
5: To join other people, type @join
6: To talk to other people, type a quotation mark and then whatever
you
want to say. For example, I have to type "How are you? in order
to have
the other people in my room read: lamia says: How are you? (Of course,
hit
the enter key after each command/talk entry.)
7: Once you have explored a bit, go to our rooms. To get there,
type @go
#3375 This will take you to The New Millenium.
8: There are robots, notes, etc. in each of the rooms I have
made for
us. Take a look at our rooms-- The Writer's Realm, the En-Gendering,
and
The Horizon-- Explore, see how you like this, and think about using
this in your writing process.
