# Hakkard World / Hakkard World

> slug: `dshakkard` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40230`

A custom closed-alpha game -- self-titled 'Hakkard World,' banner reads 'Revision 0.0.1, Status: Closed Alpha' -- built on the Dead Souls 3.8.6 engine this collection already hosts as ds386/deadsouls_fluffos/dsIII. Its non-secure stock code (command dispatch, headers, the campus/cave/default/examples/learning/Praxis/town/Ylsrim demo domains) is close to byte-identical to ds386's own raw archive; what makes it a real game rather than another stock copy are three bespoke domains built on top. The town of Lennar centers on Everett Square, where Elma Street crosses Main Street past a statue amid 'the hustle and bustle of everyday life,' with an Adventurer's Guild ('several people mill around, with wicked-looking weapons strapped to themselves'), a Mage's Guild, and named NPCs like Clerebold Vance, a small but exceptionally fit man whose Stetson hat is 'riddled with cuts and holes.' Lennar Manor is a separate noble estate with its own reception hall, tea room, lower library, and barracks; Northern Wastes is a third, frozen area (furnace, freezer, void rooms) built on the same engine. A personal builder's workroom (realms/muirrum) holds several in-progress test rooms and abandoned editor scratch buffers -- a snapshot of a game still under active construction. Makes three real outbound network connections at boot (IMC2, Intermud-3, an automatic dead-souls.net RELEASE_NOTES fetch) -- do not sweep this lib into high-frequency automated re-boot loops.

## Run natively with FluffOS

1. Build a current FluffOS driver from https://github.com/fluffos/fluffos
   (native `build` / `build-debug`; see that repo's docs).
2. Download and unzip `dshakkard.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/dshakkard/`).
3. From the unzipped lib directory, ensure `config.fluffos` points
   `mudlib directory` at this tree (the checked-in file may contain a
   maintainer-local absolute path — edit it to your extract path).
4. Start the driver:

```bash
/path/to/fluffos/build/src/driver config.fluffos
```

5. Connect a UTF-8 MUD client to `127.0.0.1:40230`.

- Admin / wizard login: see this lib's README (no seeded account recorded)
- If you host this on a public network, change the published default
  admin password before opening the port.
