MufSim

An offline simulator, debugger, and IDE for the MUF and MUV languages, with GUI and command-line interfaces.

This is not a perfect simulator of a full MUCK. This does not simulate all permissions and behaviours. It is, however, a useful way to make sure that you are manipulating the stack properly, and to debug and test programs that don't need some of the more unusual parts of MUF.

Installation

Windows

Unpack the MufSimWin64.zip archive and place the resulting MufSim.exe binary someplace useful.

OS X

Unpack the MufSimOSX64.zip archive and place the resulting MufSim.app application bundle in the /Applications folder.

Linux

Install using PyPi:

pip install mufsim

Installing from sources:

python3 setup.py build install

Using the GUI Debugger

Windows

Run the MufSim.exe binary to launch the GUI Debugger/IDE.

OS X

Open the MufSim.app application bundle to launch the GUI Debugger/IDE.

Linux

Run the mufsimgui binary to launch the GUI Debugger/IDE.

Using the Command-Line Debugger

Usage

mufsim [-h] [-u] [-r] [-t] [-d] [-c COMMAND]
       [-e TEXTENTRY] [-f TEXTFILE] [-p REGNAME FILE]
       infile

Positional Arguments

infile Name of MUF source file to use as input.

Optional Arguments

-h, --help Show help message and exit.
-u, --uncompile Show compiled MUF tokens.
-r, --run Run compiled MUF program.
-t, --trace Show stacktrace for each instruction.
-d, --debug Run MUF program in interactive debugger.
-c TEXT, --command TEXT Specify text to push onto the stack for run.
-e TEXT, --textentry TEXT Text line to feed to READs. (multiple allowed)
-f FILE, --textfile FILE File of text lines to feed to READs.
-p NAME FILE, --program NAME FILE Create extra prog from FILE, registered as $NAME.
--timing Show run execution timing.

Interactive Debugger

The interactive MUF debugger (in both the command-line and GUI) accepts the following commands:

where Display the call stack.
stack Show all data stack items.
stack DEPTH Show top DEPTH data stack items.
list List next few source code lines.
list LINE List source code line.
list LINE,LINE List source code between LINEs.
list FUNC List source code at beginning of FUNC.
break LINE Set breakpoint at line.
break FUNC Set breakpoint at func.
delete BREAKNUM Delete a breakpoint.
show breakpoints Show current breakpoints.
show functions List all declared functions.
show globals Show all global variables.
show vars Show all current function variables.
step Step one line, going into calls.
step COUNT Step COUNT lines, going into calls.
next Step one line, skipping over calls.
next COUNT Step COUNT lines, skipping over calls.
finish Finish the current function.
cont Continue until next breakpoint.
pop Pop top data stack item.
dup Duplicate top data stack item.
swap Swap top two data stack items.
rot Rot top three data stack items.
push VALUE Push VALUE onto top of data stack.
print VARIABLE Print the value in the given variable.
trace Turn on tracing of each instr.
notrace Turn off tracing if each instr.
run COMMANDARG Re-run program, with COMMANDARG.

Adding libraries

You can add extra library program objects, by using the -p command- line argument, or by opening the extra library MUF files in the GUI app. For example, if you have the following MUF files:

lib-foo.muf

$version 1.000
$lib-version 1.000
: foo[ s -- ]
    me @ s @ "foo" strcat notify
;
public foo
$libdef foo

cmd-test.muf

$include $lib/foo
: main[ arg -- ]
    "Blah" foo
;

You can run them in the command-line debugger like this:

mufsim -r -p lib/foo lib-foo.muf cmd-test.muf

External Client Connections

You can connect and log into a player object from an external client, to test things like MCP and MCPGUI programs. To do so, (assuming you're on the same machine you're running MufSim on) simply connect to localhost, port 8888, and connect to the test user John_Doe with the password password. Or:

telnet localhost 8888
connect John_Doe password

There are a few simple building and chat MUCK commands like @dig, @link, say, pose, etc. You can also interact with MUF programs doing READs or using MCP.

The Simulated MUCK Database

A small database is simulated to be able to support various property and database related primitives. This database is as follows:

Room: Global Environment Room(#0R)
    Owner: Wizard(#1PWM3)
    Properties:
        _defs/.tell: "me @ swap notify"

Player: Wizard(#1PWM3)
    Location: Global Environment Room(#0R)
    Home: Global Environment Room(#0R)
    Descriptor: 3 (First online.)
    Password: potrzebie
    Properties:
        sex: "male"

Room: Test Chamber #2(#2R)
    Owner: Wizard(#1PWM3)
    Registered: $mainroom
    Properties:
        _/de:<Description>

Exit: test(#3E)
    Owner: Wizard(#1PWM3)
    Location: Test Chamber #2(#2R)
    Linked to: cmd-test(#4FM3)

Program: cmd-test(#4FM3)
    Owner: Wizard(#1PWM3)
    Location: Wizard(#1PWM3)
    Registered: $cmd/test
    Note: The first program file is loaded into this program object.

Player: John_Doe(#5PM3)
    Location: Test Chamber #2(#2R)
    Home: Test Chamber #2(#2R)
    Password: password
    Properties:
        _/de:<Description>
        sex: "male"
        test#: 5
        test#/1: "This is line one."
        test#/2: "This is line two."
        test#/3: "This is line three."
        test#/4: "This is line four."
        test#/5: "This is line five."
        abc: "prop_abc"
        abc/def: "prop_def"
        abc/efg: "prop_efg"
        abc/efg/hij: "prop_hij"
        abc/efg/klm: "prop_klm"
        abc/nop/qrs: "prop_qrs"
        abc/nop/tuv: "prop_tuv"

Player: Jane_Doe(#6PM1)
    Location: Test Chamber #2(#2R)
    Home: Test Chamber #2(#2R)
    Password: password
    Properties:
        _/de:<Description>
        sex: "female"

Thing: Test Cube(#7)
    Location: Test Chamber #2(#2R)
    Properties:
        _/de:<Description>

As MUF programs are loaded into the GUI debugger/IDE, new programs will be created for them. The same applies for extra programs loaded via -p in the command-line debugger. If you really need to, you can connect to a one of the players in the DB using an external cnnection, and you can use many of the standard MUCK building commands like @dig, @action, @pcreate, @link or similar.
