After gaining some MOO experience, a player can become a programmer. Programmers can add to the virtual environment experienced by everyone else. They can create complex objects and rooms. Wizards, the smallest group, administer the MOO and have broad powers to alter the whole environment. The other characters encountered in the MOO are other people somewhere in the world who have connected to the same MOO server.
Some objects have names, just like other users, but actually are part of the program.
Here are some typical commands that work in most MOOs. Once connected to a MOO, you usually can access a complete list of commands to use there. Look Used to gain information on the character's surroundings and the current exits to the character's location. N, S, E, W, U, D Used to navigate through the game by telling the MUD program which exit the character will use or which direction that character wishes to leave by. Look This command gives a description of the character's appearance being looked at.
