Monkeys at Keyboards

Introduction

This is the current Alpha Version of the Monkeys at Keyboards web-page, and contains the full notes for only one set of teaching material. More material will follow in the near future.

This page (and indeed, almost all pages within the site) are generated via a software tool from XML documents. As such, there may be the occasional quirk or bug - please report these as and when you encounter them. If you don't, they'll never be fixed!

Available Material

The following material is currently available on the site:

Title	Topic	Level
APE Antics	Java Programming	1
The Javanomicon	Java Programming	2
Java-Fu	Java Programming	3

Epitaph Online is a next generation LPC-based text MMO centred on the theme of the zombie apocalypse. The training material for this game can be found here, although there exists to date no current public release of the game engine. One of these is scheduled for the intermediate future.

Title	Topic	Level	Source Code
The Epitaph Survival guide	LPC programming	1-2	To Follow

Somewhat more niche are our general LPC documents. Those who wish to explore this language should check out lpmuds.net - a general LPMuds site -for support on this topic. Those who wish to make use of this material specifically should download theDiscworld MUD public release mudlib, since the content covered is specific to that codebase. These books are considered to be deprecated - they are no longer being maintained, and the Epitaph Survival Guide above is the most up to date version of the material.

They are currently in an early draft format, so the correctness and aesthetics of the files cannot beguaranteed. Please let me know if there are any issues that you encounter.

Title	Topic	Level	Source Code
LPC For Dummies, Book 1 (deprecated)	LPC programming	1	Available
LPC For Dummies, Book 2 (deprecated)	LPC programming	1	Available
Being A Better Creator (deprecated)	MUD-related Game Design	1	N/A
