# 星战英雄 / Star War Hero

> slug: `xzyx` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40002`

The game's full title is "Sands of a Turbulent World: Star War Hero," an early domestic MudOS title in the "xkx" lineage. Despite the sci-fi-sounding name, it's actually a traditional wuxia MUD built around jianghu sects and internal/external martial cultivation — "Star War" was simply a catchy name chosen by the original author, with no connection to space warfare. New characters start in a "Recruit Camp" and pick one of four founding factions with deliberately sci-fi-flavored names layered onto the wuxia setting (Phoenix Star, Special Forces, the Temple, and the Royal Clan) — joining Special Forces, for example, puts a character under recruiter NPC Jiang Shipang with the starting title "4th-Generation Squad Leader." This surviving archive appears to be an early "core" build: classic sect zones referenced elsewhere in the code (Wudang, Shaolin, Huashan, Emei, Tangmen, Mingjiao) are not actually included — only scattered object references (e.g. on the bulletin board) still point to them.

## 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 `xzyx.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/xzyx/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40002`.
