Internet (Programming)

The HellMOO internet (aka The Matrix, Cyberspace) allows you to build hacking-oriented puzzles and provide content that could not otherwise exist in the 'real world'. The internet uses different room types, exits, and areas that the normal HellMOO world as behaves differently in many ways. The key thing to know about cyberspace is that nothing works properly there for players (or admins) unless they have jacked in through a cyberdeck, and hence their .cyberdeck property points to a valid object descended from $cyberdeck.
