got something for me to practice with?

I don't have much building experience, but i would like to have the opportunity to practice. Got any programs or anything that i can practice on?

I wouldn't mind practicing either actually.

Two offline builders ive tried are Orb and AreaEditor. Orb is prob. the best one out of the two. Offline builders sort of require you to have a good idea on your own about what you want to build. I also find it rather impersonal, youre just filling in open spaces in a form practically.
If you want a more interactive place and people to help you with then i recommend you look up the Builders Academy, its on the Mudconnector. It has a very large and well made tutorial that teaches all aspects from roomediting to writing technique. However it is atm only a Circle building place, and the commands are a bit different. Smaug basically uses a list of commands with different subcommands to get something done. Circle on the other hand uses a menu type system when u want to access room, object and mob editing, and each menu has a place where you can input script. They were thinking of doing a Smaug based builders mud but im not sure how far they got with that idea.
Hope it helps a bit.

You could just download smaug, and run your own mud on your PC to build on. That would be a very simple way to learn to build. If you want a codebase thats easier to run then stock smaug, I recommend SmaugWiz103. The helpfiles, and the text files should be plenty to help you learn to build. Granted, its better to have someone teach you.

ANother good thing about SmaugWiz is that the source is coded in C++ which allows the use of Microsoft's Visual C++ program to help you code and debug. Thats if you wish to mess around learning code. I will tell you that the source uses different names for a lot of things hten smaug does. They are, however, more common sense then smaug.
