'''ngMUCK''' is a recently created online game server project which aims to be the first [[TinyMUCK]] veriant created from scratch, without [[Wikipedia:forking|forking]] from the popular [[FuzzBall MUCK]] server software. It is being developed primarally by the staff of [[Latitude MUCK]] as an effort to improve their online environment, but it's presented as an open community effort. (See: [[Wikipedia:Open-source Software|Open-source Software]])

The project's primary goals are to partially implement [[MPI]], to create a replacement for the [[MUF]] scripting language based on the [[Wikipedia:Lua Programming Language|Lua Programming Language]], and produce an environment fully capable of interpreting the [[@arc]] command output generated from most other [[TinyMUCK]] veriants.

At present, the project is in its early development stage.

A '''MUCK''' is an online [[role-playing]] game that is usually text-based and accessable through telnet, as well as a variety of MUCK clients. The term MUCK doesn't actually stand for anything, but is rather a play on the word "MUD", which stands for "Multi User Dungeon/Domain". However, the popular backronym for MUCK is "Multi-User Created Kingdom", which seemed fitting.

Each MUCK has its own sets of rules and policies. Some MUCKs allow [[Player]]s to be [[Out Of Character]] (OOC) as much as they like, while others require them to be [[In Character]] (IC) more often, or always. Rules can vary in different areas of the MUCK.

Most MUCKs allow [[Player]]s to build. Creation might be restricted to simple objects, expanded to rooms and exits, or policy might allow for complex scripting. The creation and customization aspects of MUCK allow the player base to build a living, breathing world.

The term 'mucking' means playing on a MUCK.
