# Default Command Syntax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Evennia allows for any command syntax.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you like the way DikuMUDs, LPMuds or MOOs handle things, you could emulate that with Evennia. If you are ambitious you could even design a whole new style, perfectly fitting your own dreams of the ideal game. See the [Command](../Components/Commands.md) documentation for how to do this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We do offer a default however. The default Evennia setup tends to *resemble* [MUX2](https://www.tinymux.org/), and its cousins [PennMUSH](https://www.pennmush.org), [TinyMUSH](https://github.com/TinyMUSH/TinyMUSH/wiki), and [RhostMUSH](http://www.rhostmush.com/):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
command[/switches] object [= options]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While the reason for this similarity is partly historical, these codebases offer very mature feature sets for administration and building.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Evennia is *not* a MUX system though. It works very differently in many ways. For example, Evennia
|
||
|
|
deliberately lacks an online softcode language (a policy explained on our [softcode policy page](./Soft-Code.md)). Evennia also does not shy from using its own syntax when deemed appropriate: the
|
||
|
|
MUX syntax has grown organically over a long time and is, frankly, rather arcane in places. All in
|
||
|
|
all the default command syntax should at most be referred to as "MUX-like" or "MUX-inspired".
