CD gamedriver and mudlib

CD gamedriver and CD mudlib (also known as CDlib) are popular LPMud gamedriver and mudlib. The name CD comes from Chalmers Datorförening (Chalmers Computer Society), which most of the developers were members of.

Terrains can affect a player if any special functions are specified. These terrains are similar to the autoroom generator."
