The LambdaCore database provides the facilities needed to make a LambdaMOO server useful for Multi User Adventuring. If you compare the LambdaMOO server to a piece of computer hardware, then LambdaCore is the operating system needed to allow the user to do useful work. This document gives a rundown on the commands of the LambdaCore database, providing examples of how they are used, and some of the ideas behind them. It does not cover how the commands work, nor how they are implemented as verbs in the MOO programming language. A companion manual, The LambdaCore Programmer's Manual covers those aspects of the LambdaCore database. The user may find it useful to read the other companion manual to this one, The LambdaMOO Programmer's Manual. An understanding of MOO concepts and the MOO language can be useful when playing the game.
