DGD

This file was written for release 1.7 of DGD, Dworkin's Game Driver.

DGD is a rewrite from scratch of the LPMud server. It runs on Windows, MacOS and many versions of Unix.

DGD offers JIT compilation support. This requires the JIT extension module.

Alongside DGD, there is Hydra. Hydra is fully compatible with DGD, but offers acceleration for multi-core systems. Hydra also supports JIT compilation, using the same extension module as DGD.

PLEASE NOTE

DGD 1.7 is backward compatible with snapshots from DGD 1.5.9 and later, only. To upgrade to DGD 1.7, first upgrade to the latest 1.5.x version, recompile all objects, and create a non-incremental snapshot.

This distribution is organized as follows:

• bin
  Installation binaries will be created here (Unix).
• container
  Example files for running DGD in a container.
• doc
  Documentation on how to compile and run DGD.
• lpc-doc
  LPC documentation, still very incomplete.
• src
  Where the source code of DGD resides, and where you issue your make command on Unix.
• src/host
  Subdirectories for various platform-dependent files.
