ranvier looks great, though it might be more than I need for this project

Looking at the commit frequency on their GitHub, it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. I'm not sure if anyone's working on it behind the scenes and just hasn't pushed to the main repository, but it's not a good sign that the last public push was 2 years ago.

Then that depends on the MUD engine you're planning to use. Evennia is in python, which may help since you're familiar with it, although it is a pretty large and complicated beast. Ranvier is a pretty simple and streamlined MUD engine that is written in Javascript and likely a great place to start if you're not an old MUD player who wants to recreate their old SMAUG or Circle favorite mud. It can be installed via node.js even. Both Ranvier and Evennia (I think) allow you to build the rooms interactively within a running mud (not 100% sure on that)

Indeed! Another one I forgot to mention is Ranvier in javascript and node.js which I think also allows websockets to communicate in ways other than telnet.

I been working on something similar (very slowly in the little free time I have), and found this: https://ranviermud.com

SDLPoP - Prince of Persia clone based on DOS disassembly. C, SDL2

I love the original Prince of Persia, and the SDLPoP fan remake plays beautifully on the Deck (just add the Windows/Linux version from here as a non-Steam game).

SDLPoP is an open source port of the original Prince of Persia using the sdl library. Yes, I've also gathered that it's a standalone application that doesn't run through RetroArch. The documentation for the particular Retropie port of it is a bit sparse, but from what I've been able to gather apparently if one has control issues they should use that gamecontrollerdb.txt file and configure it correctly, but it's just that I couldn't get it to work. Whether I'm doing something wrong or there's something wrong with the port itself given the hardware, I don't know, that's why I'm asking for help here. For reference, here's some of the information I've already gone through : https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP

There's a source port to run the game on modern systems: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP

This is a good way to play this: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP

This is great and I also enjoy https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP where my favourite feature is the ability to take a screenshot of the whole level... which usually fits well within my 4K display.

Oh, and playing at 3840x1200 means that every original 320x200 pixel is ... 144 pixels!
