Well, I am not sure such a thing exists. Alathon has done some neat stuff with BYOND based MUD projects. Perhaps that could get you started?

The attack system is the same as in a realtime game, except that you're not targetting mobs in get_step() or oview().

Check out his BMUD library and his BMUD and Intermundia demos.

I'll get to work on a how-to for text-based games soonish (Vagueness = Win), when my rather busy schedule clears up.

BMUD should get you started though, and if you've got questions feel free to post them, I usually scan the forums for 'MUD' to specifically find questions related to that ;)
