I used Evennia in the 48h online hackathon "Challenge One Health" :-)

Hello,

I used Evennia in the German 48h Hackathon "Challenge One Health"

http://challengeonehealth.com/hackathon/

. I started with complete software installion on Windows ( compliment: excellent howto-install instructions! ) , while I used the Hackathon time to pass the 2 tutorials "First Steps Coding" and "Tutorial for a basic MUSH like game".

So to be honest, this was not really a complete application, but the other 4 teams mostly had just developed concepts and no real coding at all, no prototype. So it was not a nerd hackathon, nor a hackathon of professional coders.

BUT I was able to record a requested pitch video, where I operated the MUSH game in a way, that it looked as if it was already a first step für the real "Challenge One Health" MUD application :-). The requested pitch video length was 3 minutes, I did almost 4 minutes, so it was within the accepted range.

See my video in German language

and my GitHub project with additional presentation sheet about a simple MUD map

https://github.com/hemmerling/challengeonehealthmud

So what Evennia MUD operations did I present in the video:

help

examine

set self/desc = "I am Rolf"

+createNPC impfstoff3

# German "Impfstoff" = English "vaccine", a buzzword for this hackathon

examine impfstoff3

+editNPC impfstoff3/power = 100

examine impfstoff3

+attack

+npc impfstoff = +attack

So I am not a "winner", nor a professional MUD coder, but for me it was ok.

I had a little problem with "Tutorial for a basic MUSH like game". I think that 3 lines were missing in the tutorial, which must be included:

**********************

self.add(command.CmdCreateNPC())

self.add(command.CmdEditNPC())

self.add(command.CmdNPC())

**********************

Sincerely

Rolf
