Some people say two and some say four, but I've found that the three-part system makes the most sense. The physical level of a MUD is the level of the game that controls the physical aspects, such as the existence and movement of items, characters , rooms, and so on. Basically, anything that can be represented as a physical object is defined at the physical layer of the MUD. Objects defined at this level are typically referred to as entities.
The logical level of a MUD controls what happens to the physical level. Characters need to make decisions, items perform tasks when acted upon, and so forth. This is the part of the MUD that controls what a character does when attacked , or when given an item, for example. The data level of a MUD is closely related to the physical level. This is the level of the MUD that defines all the physical entities in the game as opposed to the physical level, which merely controls them.
For example, whenever you load up a map into the physical layer, the map is loaded from the data layer. Different MUDs implement these layers in different ways. In the very first MUDs, way back in the bad old days when every computer language was a compiled language , all these layers were stored in the MUD code itself.
Everything and I mean everything was inside of the compiled code, and you couldn't change anything until you went into the code, modified it, recompiled, restarted the MUD, and then re-ran it. Obviously having such interruptions is bothersome to the players of your MUD. There's not much sense in having a simulation of a world that needs to be shut down all the time. Forum shortcuts. Posting templates. Lua modules. Lua documentation.

It includes coverage of basic networking, layered protocol format for the internet, text MUD concepts, graphical MUD concepts, and more. Who woulda thought? I bought that book a few months ago so I can tell you a bit about it. My jaw dropped when browsing through the local bookshop when I found a book about the very thing I was very interested in.
Part 1 - the basics Part 1 of the book introduces you to the basics of programming servers in general: Network programming some history, and a description of TCP and UDP Sockets programming - creating sockets, listening etc. Players, HP, attack, defense, experience Inventory and objects Rooms and exits - however each room has a maximum of four exits north, south, east, west Shops Training Commands. Examples are: attack, drop, help, north, east, south, west, quit, who, use, remove, chat, whisper, say, inventory, stats, experience, time, look Saving and loading things like rooms Logon states eg.
There is a lengthy discussion of Python in general, and the scripting interface in this game in particular. A bit further down in this thread is an example of the output from this Better MUD.
Licences The code he supplies appears to be free to use for your own MUD. He says "You're free to take them and modify them however you wish, and run them on your own". His "Better" MUD seems to be very expandable, with its scripting and various database files.
