ESP8266 MUD

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.
