Is this a front for mining crypto for you?

For anyone without experience with MUDs, having ~20 regular players already counts as a big success. Don’t expect to find any with more than 50 active at any given time.

OP, have you checked mudslinger? It can let people play from their browser https://github.com/rabidt/mudslinger

Alternatively, there’s https://web.mudlet.org/

Most ready-to-use engines simply cannot compete in these kinds of challenges, they have too much “cruft”. Simply exporting an empty project will result in a ~35mb executable.

Funnily enough, SDL might also not be worth it, as the .dll alone will blow the limit. So people will either have to use whatever native win32 API there are, or directx calls, or going with VGA, which will also look era appropriate.

To be fair, .kkrieger came out in 2004 :)

SliTaz might be an option, ~50mb image with Midori browser and other stuff; assuming the live image correctly detects and activates the wifi, it should be good enough
