This site is maintained as a memorial for Geoff, who tragically passed away at the age of 38 after living with cancer for many years. Those who knew him remember a kind, gentle soul full of generosity and warmth for friends, family, his students, and small fuzzy creatures. He was known as a talented researcher and teacher in academic circles, but few knew that Geoff was also a dedicated game developer and programmer in his off-hours.

NakedMUD's development began at the tail-end of Geoff's undergraduate years at the University of Alberta (2004-2005), and then continued at a measured pace during his graduate student years at University of Cincinnati's Masters of Experimental Psychology program (2006-2008). After being admitted to the Experimental Psychology Ph.D program (2008-2009), NakedMUD received a couple more years of bug fixes, feature additions and updates.

This is Geoff's site, maintained exactly as he left it before the University deleted his webspace. Some of the links/additional downloads remain unavailable. Thanks to the efforts of fellow software preservationists @avidal, @stevestreza, @crawfordsm and @lewiscowles1986, most of Geoff's source code for NakedMUD has been located and restored to this site.

A very, very simple MUD written in python. Little more than a toy, or an ad-hoc chat server. Can comfortably run in a very small or restricted environment. Really should be patched so it doesn't have to run as root.

A framework written in python for writing a MUD or interactivefiction. Can run as a console app or with a simple GUI that uses tkInter. Even has a webapp. Has a re-implementation of LPC-MUD's soul.c parser. Seems to be very complete insofar as IF is concerned, maybe the soul module will give me some hints for writing a parser.
