(MOO) One of the many MUD spin-offs (e.g. MUSH, MUSE, and MUX) created to diversify the realm of interactive text-based gaming. A MOO is similar to a MUSH in that the users themselves can create objects, rooms, and code to add to the environment. The most frequently used serversoftware for running a MOO is LambdaMOO but alternatives include {WinMOO (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cunkel/WinMOO/)} and {MacGoesMOO (http://neon.ci.lexington.ma.us/SpamCentral/scaron/mgm.html)}.
