Fado MUD client

By: JDA
Multi User Dungeon (MUD) client for Android devices

Features & Capabilities

Fado is a Multi User Dungeon (MUD) client for Android devices.

In its original concept, MUD stands for Multi-User Dungeon. Nowadays, no matter the theme of the game, a MUD is a multiplayer real-time virtual world, described primarily in text. MUDs combine elements of role-playing games, hack and slash, player versus player, interactive fiction and online chat.

Fado, being a MUD client, is the interface that lets you connect to a myriad of MUD servers around the world. This is not a game; this is the gateway to hundreds of text games.

Key features:
- can connect to plain or TLS sockets
- supports multiple simultaneous connections
- negotiation of NAWS, MSSP, MCCP_V2, OSC 8
- 256 color support
- multiple configurable joysticks
- multiple configurable gestures
- multiple configurable gyroscope tilts
- pinch zoom to easily zoom in and out console text (double tap to return to default zoom)
- disable line wrap - depending on the MUD you are connected to and your own way of playing, it can be useful and enhance gameplay
- Fake MXP: on each word you click in, a radial menu appear with configurable options (you can make use of Font Awesome 6.6.0 icons and regular expressions, Java flavor)
- Autocomplete on input line (configurable)
- Triggers, aliases and timers (all configurable)
- .vib, .tts, .toast and .not commands, to make device vibrate, do a text-to-speech sound, create a toast message or a notification (configurable)
- enhanced accessibility through fully cutomizable terminal colours, OpenDyslexic font and text-to-speech commands
- write logs to file
- notes/journal, to store text documents using a rich editor
- scripting, via Lua, on a Fado specific IDE

A solid MUD client with a todo list that can easily make it the best client available on Android. The joysticks make moving around very natural and the context menus when you tap on a word are a unique way to interact with a text based world.

Originally rated at two stars but it seems that there's been some improvement. It does what it says on the tin. Simple, effective. Good modern client. -updated- Did I mention the dev actually responds quickly? Update It just gets better and better! Now with the ability to change foreground fonts to brighter colours, this is the app you've been waiting for to replace mukluk and blowtorch on android 15 devices! Thanks dev!
