<h1>Default Command Syntax<a class="headerlink" href="#default-command-syntax" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Evennia allows for any command syntax.</p>
<p>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 <a class="reference internal" href="../Components/Commands.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">Command</span></a> documentation for how to do this.</p>
<p>We do offer a default however. The default Evennia setup tends to <em>resemble</em> <a class="reference external" href="https://www.tinymux.org/">MUX2</a>, and its cousins <a class="reference external" href="https://www.pennmush.org">PennMUSH</a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/TinyMUSH/TinyMUSH/wiki">TinyMUSH</a>, and <a class="reference external" href="http://www.rhostmush.com/">RhostMUSH</a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">command</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">switches</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="nb">object</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">options</span><span class="p">]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>While the reason for this similarity is partly historical, these codebases offer very mature feature sets for administration and building.</p>
<p>Evennia is <em>not</em> 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 <a class="reference internal" href="Soft-Code.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">softcode policy page</span></a>). 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”.</p>
