This is the Builder's Gudie for MOZ (Moo in OZ). MOO is Mud Object Oriented. MUD is Multi-User Dungeon or Dimension. In general, a MUD is a multi-user text-based virtual environment. For information on MUDs in general, see <`http://www.godlike.com/muds/`> or your local search engine. For information on MOOs, see <`http://www.moo.mud.org/moo-faq/`>.

Oz is a multi-paradigmatic language that happens not to suck. See <`http://www.mozart-oz.org/`>.

## Building Commands

create className `named` objectName | Variable

Creates an object of the given className, and gives it the name objectName (in the current language only). Please see the design document for a list of the available classes.

teleport thing `to` place | Variable

Teleports an object (named by thing) to either the player ("me") or the player's location ("here"). Alternatively, teleports the character ("me") to a location they own (named by place).

link exit | Variable

Sets the named exit's destination to whatever location the exit is currently located in.

link gate `to url` url | Variable

A Gate is like an exit, except it links two running MOZ servers. To make the connection, the Gate must set its destination to the information that has been stored in a file by a Terminus. Use this command to link then named gate to the terminus that has advertised itself in url. Note that an administrator must bless gate for this command to work.

advertise terminus `in file` file | Variable

A Terminus is like a location except that, when blessed by an administrator, it has the ability to save some information to a file that allows a Gate to set its destination to the Terminus. Generally, the file is made web accessible. Use this comamnd to advertise Gate connection information about terminus in file, which is a file that will be placed under the pickle directory in the server root directory. The file will probably not be useful unless it is web accessible; you will need to talk to your administrator to see what URL to use to access the file.
