For WARP we are using Mumps as scripting language. Looking at a Mumps
script for the first time, might give you a real bad headache and you
wish you would have looked at Perl instead :)

So since you are crazy enough or interested to read on - or both - here
it goes:


        campfire ; campfires ; Axel 2009-Feb-10
                n fire,room,do,nul
        
                ;--- check how many seconds it would take to gather wood
                s room=$$room^%char(who)
                s do=$$campdo^%room(room)
        
                w "You start gathering some wood for a campfire..."
                d room^%act("$n starts to gather wood for a campfire.",1,who,0)
        [..]
        
Mumps is a string oriented, interpreted programming language with an
integrated database. The programming language is ANSI standardized and
rather old, from times when every byte was worth a lot more money than
nowadays. I think mostly because of that, it supports an abbriviation
mode for commands and functions. Since it is supported, us lazy people
tend to use it, making the code unreadable for all others :) 

        s       => set
        i       => if
        e       => else
        d       => do
        w       => write

Ok, this text was only supposed to be a very rough introduction. I will
try to make it more comprehensive soon.
