Needs more work but happy to see it exists

The character bar (the one that you can select to give easy access to frequently used characters) causes my app to freeze as soon as I try to use it. It would also be nice if the screen scrolled automatically to the bottom on login or that this could at least be an option.

Perhaps some improvements.

Really the only thing it's missing is the ability to click links. Like email addresses or webpages, YouTube links so if you want to sign up for a mud you can touch to open it, or if someone whispers you a guide on the internet, etc.. Also auto-scroll on new text seems to be broken. It's often hidden under the text input bar so you have to manually scroll down, and sometimes that doesnt help either so you have to wait for a few more lines to hit the buffer so you can read it. Really awesome and on the right track tho.

Connections

Can't make multiple connections to the same world, in the old one you could. Still crashes when put to background

Response from developer

Thanks for checking out MUDBasher! This should be fixed with the latest version

nearly flawless execution.

i'll be honest, there are a few important bugs... then again the app is still young. voiceover isn't reading the screen automatically anymore, plus the world order when you add a world is screwed up, and to delete a world you have to delete it twice... but other than that, the layout is there. just try to get the bugs ironed out quickly (mostly when it comes to accessibility and the interface.

Great improvement

Better scripting etc. and a marked improvement from MUDrammer. Only issue is that word wrap cuts up words so it's a little awkward for wordier MUDs.
