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, etc).
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
Want to build?
Shaping the world — digging new rooms and describing them — needs a builder role. See How to Build.
