What, hydraMUD? hydraMUD is my first effort at writing an application for Mac OS X. The main reason I'm building it though, is because in my search for MUD clients for the Mac, all I could find was ancient pre-Mac OS 9 software. I started using Mac OS X last year and I've never looked back. My prospects for finding a good MUD client that I didn't have to run in classic were dismal. I wanted a robust, user-configureable MUD client that would run natively on my system. I had already decided I was going to teach myself Cocoa, now I had a goal to accomplish. In all fairness though, building a MUD client

Currently hydraMUD is still in alpha stages. There's bugs! So if you're a hard core mudder, don't run with it. By all means, please download it and try it out (I need the feedback), but be cognizant that there still are the peculiarities of any software under development.
Features:

Unfortunately in order to be competitive in a complicated IEN you need an alias system that supports multiple lines. You need triggers and tickers. I wish you had put these essentials in prior to the extras like transparancy settings and spell checkers.
I will glady receive updates as your program is the most promising, and once these things are in place I would definately crack open my wallet for hydraMUD.

Incredible interface, under active development, fast, and very easy to use.

Very promising.
Active Development.
I like it.
The rating is lower because it's in development. But I'd give it an overall 5, for what it does at the stage of development it is in.
