Fado

Multi User Dungeon (MUD) client for Android devices

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

- 256 color support

- multiple configurable joysticks

- multiple configurable gestures

- 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 a brighter color palette and the addition of .tts, .ttsskip, and .ttsclear commands

Fado makes use of third-party libraries (either as-is or adapted):
