How to Play

Mossworld is a world you can explore right in your browser. You type a command, press Enter, and read what comes back.

Getting in

  • Go to mossworld.ca.
  • Create an account (or sign in). Your user name is your character name.
  • You're dropped straight into the world.

The bar at the bottom is your command line. On the right it shows connected as yourname — click that to open a menu (Settings, Log out, and the Admin panel if you're staff).

Moving around

Rooms join up by the four compass directions. Move with:

  • north, south, east, west — or just n, s, e, w

If there's no exit that way, the game tells you so.

Looking and talking

  • look (or l) — show the current room again: its name, description, and exits
  • say message — speak out loud to everyone in your room
  • who — list who is online right now

Comfort settings

  • verbose on / verbose off — show or hide tutorial/assist hints (off by default)
  • colormode tea / colormode pc — recolour the client: tea (Tea Green) or pc (grey on black). Your choice is remembered in your browser.
  • stats — how many bytes the server has sent you, grouped by kind (just a curiosity)

Getting help

  • help — the basic command list
  • help topics — any extra help topics available to you
  • quit (or q) — disconnect

Shaping the world — digging new rooms and describing them — needs a builder role. See How to Build.
