Blightmud has been a passion project of mine for some time. A big user of the old but great tinyfugue I always wanted to create my own similar mud client. Even though I don't play much muds these days.

The client is written in rust. Some navigating throught the thesaurus brought me to the word blight and here we are.

• Completely terminal based (mac and linux)
• Telnet:
  • TLS connections
  • GMCP support
  • MSDP support
  • MCCP2 support (compress2)
• Lua scripting:
  • Output and sending
  • Aliases
  • Triggers
  • Timers
  • Customizing status bar
  • Persistent storage
  • Session storage
  • Keybindings
  • Text-To-Speech
  • Mouse scrolling (experimental)
  • Plugins
• Low resource and fast
• In client help and manuals
• Native Text-To-Speech functionality (optional compile)
• Tab completion

• Install rust
• Run cargo build to compile
• Run cargo run to run

• Run cargo build|run|install --all-features

• Ubuntu/Debian : Deb packages can be found on the releases page
• Archlinux/Manjaro : Packages are available on AUR
• Mac/Homebrew : We have a homebrew tap brew tap Blightmud/blightmud
• Other/Alternative : Download source and run cargo install --path . from the project root

This is my first rust project that has actually grown a bit. Some things might look silly but thanks to rust they should still be safe. Anywho. If you find some antipattern where you have a better idea I'm more then happy to se the PR and learn some more rustier ways.
