MUSH code is often referred to as softcode, as opposed to the hardcode which is written in a code interpreted by the server. MUSH code are commands on objects, rooms, exits or players written in a code understood by the mush server.
If you are new to MUSH code, you should start with Amberyl's MUSH manual. It is a definitive resource covering a wide spectrum of code, and is available via ftp or for browsing. You can access it online by typing MAN. Another good resource, often overlooked, are the help files for the server. Some of these are available online in a searchable format.
Soucon does not restrict coding nor building, except for what is allowable by your quota. However, objects that are automatically triggered every night do need approval of the code wizard. See also NEWS CODE.
