Subject: ALT: iOS Client MudRunner no longer on App Store
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello all,
The developer for the iOS lightweight MUD client MudRunner has taken the
app down from the iOS App Store due to time constraints and in my opinion a
bit of tech debt to get over since it's not been updated in over 10 years.
I originally spoke to Jon the developer a year or so ago but became rather
ill myself with kidney issues and also having my stepson move in with me
thanks to this economy.
I wanted to fork - duplicate - MudRunner and create something lightweight
but very customisable for a mobile MUD client, and update the Objective-C
codebase up to Swift and make it an universal app across iOS, iPadOS and
macOS.
The amount of man hours and developers that have worked on Mush-Z would be
If anyone would be interested in the continuation of MudRunner or a further
universal Mudlet or has any general advice/suggestions since I'm diving
into this head first, I'd appreciate anyone's input.
I realise this board is very quiet but didn't feel right just blasting text
walls into the zt channel.
quite the mountain to compete with so I wanted to let Mush-Z be the
advanced power user client and allow MudRunner to be a really easy to use
and set up client for when you'd might be travelling, on holiday, away from
home, on a commute and just wanted to socialise with other players.
I personally found MudRunner to be a blesssing as I became bed bound for a
while and I originally only had an iMac which I couldn't quite make
comfortable beside the bed..
But I found using a bluetooth keyboard and my iPad or iPhone I could hop on
Alter Aeon or Stellar Aeon whenever I fancied casualy here and there.
There is another alternative for Appleheads like me, and that's Mudlet for
macOS and other platforms including Linux and Android.
