This project is a simple mud that runs entirely within an ESP8266 and can be accessed via the wifi portal it connects to.
## Next Steps
1. every tick loop through the players
2. for each player load the roomname_monsters.txt
3. execute any current action [flee (maybe later), attack, continue combat, special attack (if enough mp or stamina)]
4. Write results of action to the roomname_monsters.txt if the monster is killed or mp / stamina has changed. - Sidenote.. don't store inventory, get a list of possible inventory and randomize on death and drop on the ground (no corpses)
5. Process any special commands from the player [spells, special attacks based on stamina]
6. Write results of action to the player file [damage, mp use, stamina use]
7. Write any new inventory to the room file. Expire any inventory that is old TBD....
8. Every minute respawn mobs for any room the players are in.
