# Genesis / Genesis mudlib (CDlib)

> slug: `genesis` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40213`

The official mudlib of Genesis, one of the oldest and most influential LPMuds still running. This is the engine only (master, login, std/ base classes, command souls, board/mail/bank/donation/report subsystems, the full wizard toolset) -- per the repo's own README, it ships no /d/Genesis game-world domain at all (no rooms, no NPCs, no items, no race content). Since no domain ships to place new characters in, this collection's copy adds a from-scratch character-creation bootstrap and a bare landing room so the engine is actually playable.

## 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 `genesis.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/genesis/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40213`.

- 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.
