-Throughout this document, we hope to familiarize you with the basic aspects of Mudlet, from the interface to its very powerful and feature-rich scripting backend. The main focus in the development of Mudlet has been efficiency and performance, but we also try to make it as easily accessible as possible. However, keep in mind that this is a complex piece of software with a large set of tools that does require some deeper understanding of the underlying principles. To use Mudlet in any meaningful way, you should take a closer look at the technical section in this manual.
-If you are not familiar with modern MUD clients in general, you should also take a look at the general introduction to MUD clients section at the beginning of this manual. You are welcome to ask questions on the forum of our website. If you find a bug, please let us know.
