Open Source Variations of CKMud

Explore the roots and evolution of CKMud through its older open-source versions.

DBI - The Beginning

CKMud traces its origins to DBI, a project born from the initial work under the DBX name created by Kastion. Over time, Zenzi took over and expanded the project under DPR, and finally, it evolved into Cypress with DBI. This codebase served as the initial launchpad for CKMud. However, please note:

  • It is riddled with bugs and backdoors.
  • It lacks ASCII player files.
  • It remains a significant part of CKMud's history.

  • Implemented Android Upgrades.
  • Cleans up the bugs and backdoors found in DBI.
  • Introduces ASCII Player Files.
  • Includes the planet system with Earth and some early zones.
  • Revamped transformation code.
  • Early CKMud Event system.
  • Does not yet include features like the mentor system, gauntlet, or racial trait system.
