TinTin++ is a highly configurable open source MUD client available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and android. Installation instructions and source code can be found at https://tintin.sourceforge.io. It runs from the CLI and is entirely text based - perfect for minimalists!<br />
<br />
== Useful Features ==<br />
* UTF-8, 256 colour support<br />
* SSL connections<br />
* Has a capable automatic map generator<br />
* Fully scriptable for macros, event-based triggers, etc<br />
<br />
== Quickstart ==<br />
Create an initial startup script as per the official [https://tintin.sourceforge.io/starting.php Getting Started] guide, and include the following lines:<br />
<br />
#split;<br />
#config {charset} {utf-8};<br />
#config {256 colors} {on};<br />
#ssl {Flexible Survival} {flexiblesurvival.com} {2002};<br />
<br />
If all goes well, you should now see a message from the flexible survival server that starts with the text "Welcome to Flexible Survival". Type <code>connect <character name> <password></code> to log in.<br />
<br />
<br />
== User Interfaces ==<br />
One of the most powerful features of tintin++ is its scripting capabilities. Combined with a few commonly available tools like tmux, the minimalist UI can be improved in pretty much any way you want, such as separating chat channels into a different area of the screen, keeping track of your character's health/inventory/etc.<br />

=== Inutt's UI ===<br />

<br />
A collections of scripts that produce a reasonable UI, written by [[User:Inutt|Inutt]]. (Disclaimer: He's also the one that wrote this page). It's in the early stages but works reasonably well, although it was intended for use on a Linux system where several other tools will be available - other operating systems may be supported, but are entirely untested so far.<br />
<br />
It can be downloaded from [https://gitlab.com/inutt/flexible-survival-ui GitLab], where you can also find more detailed usage instructions, and a version of tintin++ with a slightly improved map display.</div>Inutt
