<p>PennMUSH is a freely available MUD-style server that provides a
form of textual virtual reality. It maintains a persistent world
database containing players, objects, rooms, exits, and
programs. People connect to the server and take on characters in the
virtual world, interacting with other players from around the (real)
world. Common activities include game playing, role-playing,
socializing, world-building, etc. These servers have also been used
for education, research, and artistic endeavors.</p>

<p>Want to try it out? You can use
a <a href="http://client.pennmush.org/guest/m.u.s.h">browser-based
client to connect to a game
called <a href="http://mush.pennmush.org">M*U*S*H</a></a> without
installing any software. We're friendly, stop in and say hi!</p>

<p>PennMUSH has an active team of developers/maintainers, and has been
under continuous improvement since its first release in 1992! The
current release is 1.8.7p0 made on August 10, 2018.</p>

<p>PennMUSH runs on almost any UNIX derivative, including Linux and OS
X, as well as Windows. You
can <a href="https://www.github.com/pennmush/pennmush">find the source
code on GitHub</a>,
or <a href="https://download.pennmush.org/Source/">download a specific
release</a>. Once you have a copy of the files, follow
the <a href="docs/INSTALL.html">installation instructions</a>.</p>

<p>If you don't have a server to run PennMUSH on, or don't know how to
compile programs from source code, there are several commercial
services that can help you. Stop by M*U*S*H (see below) and ask for
advice.</p>

<p>The flagship game for PennMUSH development
is <a href="https://mush.pennmush.org">M*U*S*H</a>, a social game that
you can connect to via
a <a href="http://client.pennmush.org/guest/m.u.s.h">browser-based
client</a> or via telnet at mush.pennmush.org port 4201.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://github.com/pennmush/pennmush/issues">issues
page</a> is where bugs should be reported.</p>

<p>Server documentation can be read <a href="docs/index.html">here</a>.</p>

<p>If you're looking for information on making your own changes to the
source, the <a href="http://community.pennmush.org">community site</a>
has some information and
the <a href="https://doxygen.pennmush.org">source documentation</a>
has API details.</p>

<p>There's a whole bulletin board on M*U*S*H full of game
advertisements run by people who would love for you to check out their
game! Log on to M*U*S*H and type <code>+bbread 7</code> to see the
list, and <code>+bbread 7/1</code>, for example, to read post #1. You
can also ask other M*U*S*H players to recommend a game.</p>
