+# gomud
+
+multi-user dungeon engine written in go
+
+## motivation
+
+- learn go
+- make something super fun
+
+## current status
+
+- echo server
+
+## game features
+
+- text based rpg
+- it's super fun
+
+## application features
+
+- auth (TLS?): user, password, characters
+- connect via telnet or netcat
+- persistance (database)
+
+## entities
+
+- characters/heroes
+    - level (experience)
+    - stats
+    - skills (not classes?)
+    - ancestry (not races)
+- items
+    - weapons (wieldable)
+    - armour (wearable)
+- npcs
+    - monsters
+    - friendlies
+- environment
+- rooms
+- quests
+
+## roadmap
+
+- scriptable: should be able to create content in game
+- exploration to scale: wilderness map
+- websocket support

+
+Stuff i learned about go
+
+
+- `:=` short assignment, infers type: `x := 4`. vs "long" assignment: `var x int; x = 4`
+- expressive ifs: declare, assign, evaluate
+
+    ```
+    if x := isBar(); x > 10 {
+      println("big number")
+    } else {
+      println("it's kind of small")
+    }
+    ```
+
+- `defer` wrapup (e.g. `conn.Close()`)
+- data structures are array (fixed), slice (variable), and channel
+- mulitiple returns. common convention:
+
+    ```
+    foo, err := bar()
+    if err != nil {
+      return err
+    }
+    ```
+- pointers 😬
+- use `make` to make arrays, slices, channels
+- `for` is the only loop.
+- structs and interfaces. here's a pair type:
+
+    ```
+    type pair struct {
+      x, y int
+    }
+    ```
+
+    and here's a toString interface:
+
+    ```
+    type Stringer interface {
+      toString() string
+    }
+    ```
+
+    and here's adding a method to a struct to implement the interface:
+
+    ```
+    func(p pair) toString() string {
+      return fmt.Sprintf("(%d, %d)", p.x, p.y)
+    }
+    ```
+
+    and here's using the compiler to check the interface:
+
+    ```
+    var p Stringer = pair{3, 4}
+    ```
