The LPC programming language is an object-oriented programming language derived from C and developed originally by Lars Pensjö to facilitate MUD building on LPMuds. It has been used not only for mud game creation, but also has evolved into the Pike programming language used for various internet servers, multimedia applications and system administration tasks.

The LPC programming language is an object-oriented programming language derived from C and developed originally by Lars Pensjö to facilitate MUD building on LPMuds. It has been used not only for mud game creation, but also has evolved into the Pike programming language used for various internet servers, multimedia applications and system administration tasks. LPC stands for 'Lars Pensjö C'.
LPC syntax places it in the family of C-like programming languages, with C and C++ its strongest influences.
Almost everything in LPC is an object. However, LPC does not precisely use the concept of a class (MudOS has something called a class, but it is really a struct). Instead, LPC objects are blueprint objects and clones of blueprint objects. You can treat a blueprint object much as you would a class in other object-oriented languages.
Each object has variables (attributes) and functions (methods). The variables store the object's state; the functions are executable routines that can be called...
