Foil 30 Characteristics of a MOO

From HPDC95 Collaboration Presentation HPDC95 Tutorial Pentagon City -- August 1 1995. by Roman Markowski and Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE

MOOs are composed of three types of elements: People, places, and things. Because one of the goals of a MOO is to resemble (within the limitations of the medium) reality, MOOs have many of the things that one would see in everyday life: cars and houses, people and refrigerators, pets and so forth. The people who inhabit MOOs attempt to add as much detail to the MOO as possible. This means adding details as simple as making a character able to smile or as complex as establishing a democratic system by which the MOO is governed (such as the one that exists at LambdaMOO).
FTP from parcftp.xerox.com as pub/MOO/contrib/TinyMUD will compare MUD's and MOO's
