# Majik 3 / Majik 3

> slug: `majik3` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40252`

A real MudOS v22.1b22-era mudlib from 1997-1998, the third incarnation of hobbyist author Tero Ilkka Leino's ("namhas") Majik project. Genuinely distinct from the rest of this collection: an English-language, from-scratch codebase, not a Chinese-wuxia derivative. Its own README candidly describes this exact backup as an unfinished alpha snapshot -- 'not playable at all, except you could grow carrots, make money and do some exploring': character creation (name/password/race selection with a real race list and starting-location branching), basic exploration, and the farming minigame all work end to end, while several other zones (forest, hilltop guild rooms, a cult wizard-guild room, an abandoned early gridmap/roguelike prototype that foreshadows the author's own next project majik4) rely on declarative setup calls (add_monster(), set_no_weight(), set_no_condition()) that were simply never implemented anywhere in the shipped codebase -- genuinely unfinished content from the snapshot's actual development state. See also majik4 (the same author's 1999 successor project, also onboarded from this author's GitHub).

## 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 `majik3.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/majik3/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40252`.

- 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.
