+ | ====== Short Hand Directions ====== | ||
+ | Around the MUD and the Wiki you are likely to see in-game directions expressed in a shorter format. Fear not, it's easy to figure out with a bit of instruction. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The general idea is to express directions to a given place on the MUD in two parts: | ||
+ | - The nearest Astroport (AP) | ||
+ | - A " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The first part is merely the main landmark. To learn more about astroports check out [[help: | ||
+ | The second part sounds more complicated than it is. It will be expressed as something like: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | e, | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is a condensed representation of: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | east, south (twenty-nine times), enter, north (four times), west, north | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | As you can see repeated directions are replaced by the shorthand of that direction and the number of times it is to be entered. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The available shorthands are: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Direction ^ Shorthand ^ | ||
+ | | east | e | | ||
+ | | west | w | | ||
+ | | north | n | | ||
+ | | south | s | | ||
+ | | northeast | ne | | ||
+ | | northwest | nw | | ||
+ | | southeast | se | | ||
+ | | southwest | sw | | ||
+ | |||
+ | Other commands you might see: //enter, out, up, down//. |
