  • The Sync app that routes

    I forget the name, but know theres an app for routing terminal text to the comms and Sync (or other) BBS software can route all that to the user.

    Is there any reason why DRL (Doom, Rogue-Like) couldn't be an online door game??? Its very simple... and most like the UNIX rogue game.

    I'm not talking about the ASCii/text DOOM ports that use libraries and are
    more heavily graphical. (Altho that would be even more rad!!!) But, DRL is
    very simple and more like old DOS text games...

    Lastly, can someone update me what that app IS that sync uses to push
    terminal text to the BBS user? Thanks thanks thanks.

    Synchronet can intercept standard out of any program. Doesn't need "an app" for that: http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:door:index

    Dunno. If it uses standard in/output (stdio) and uses ANSI terminal control sequences, it should work great as a door.

    Are you thinking of SexPOTS maybe? That "app" is a serial/modem to Telnet gateway program and really has nothing to do with pushing text.

    it depends on how that program is set to display to the user.

    very simple and more like old DOS text games...
