====== Short Hand Directions ====== Around the MUD and the Wiki you are likely to see in-game directions expressed in a shorter format. Fear not, it's easy to figure out with a bit of instruction. The general idea is to express directions to a given place on the MUD in two parts: - The nearest Astroport (AP) - A "factored" list of the directions needed to get there The first part is merely the main landmark. To learn more about astroports check out [[help:space|the space help file]]. The second part sounds more complicated than it is. It will be expressed as something like: <file> e,29s,enter,4n,w,n </file> This is a condensed representation of: <file> east, south (twenty-nine times), enter, north (four times), west, north </file> As you can see repeated directions are replaced by the shorthand of that direction and the number of times it is to be entered. The available shorthands are: ^ Direction ^ Shorthand ^ | east | e | | west | w | | north | n | | south | s | | northeast | ne | | northwest | nw | | southeast | se | | southwest | sw | Other commands you might see: //enter, out, up, down//.
