kmc is a mud client for KDE that aims to be powerful yet easy to use and comfortable to spend time in. I started it several years ago as a project to learn Qt programming with, and added to it bit by bit, as it's the program I myself use to mud. Finally, it has reached a point of maturity where I felt compelled to release it.

A mud client is a program used to connect and play a MUD. MUDs are a special internet text-only game that can be truly fascinating. To read more about MUDs, the MUD FAQ is a good start.

kmc Philosophy and Features

The two top priorities for kmc are:

• Powerful and configurable. This includes scripting, the ability to configure most anything, etc.
• Comfortable, easy to use, no hassle involved.

Features so far include:

• Mud and character profiles to make connecting easier.
• Autologin, reconnection.
• Good integration with KDE (i.e. cut and paste, drag and drop, restoration)
• Scripting, via an embedded Perl interpreter. User-defined commands, triggers, timers, etc.
• Logging with and without color.
• Input history with tab expansion.
• Full ANSI support.
• Extreme customization of appearance (change colors, font, wrapping, tab size).
• Mud toolbar. Connect and login to the click of a button.
• Split and full screen mode.
• Numpad walking, via a Perl script.
