      TZUTC: -0700       MSGID: 7593.doorgame@1:103/705 27b9d440       PID: Synchronet 3.20a-Linux new_user_dat/17aaf99a1 Oct 19 2022 GCC 8.3.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.15-Linux new_user_dat/5c7f6b5c2 Oct 22 2022 GCC 8.3.0       COLS: 80       BBSID: VERT       CHRS: CP437 2       NOTE: FSEditor.js v1.104       You know the original computer adventure game (Colossal Cave Adventure)? It       was ported to Unix/C a while ago by ESR. It uses stdio, so if your BBS       software supports door programs that require stdio interception/redirection       (as opposed to FOSSIL or COM/UART I/O), then you could run it as a door game:       https://gitlab.com/esr/open-adventure              Now, as is, the game allows a user to save and restore their game and specify       the file path/name to save-to/restore-from, so that's a security concern for       sure. I made a fork (and a pending merge request) that resolves this problem       by auto-creating or reloading a user's save game that's specified on the       command-line following the (new) -a argument: https://gitlab.com       SynchronetBBS/open-adventure/-/tree/autosave              I have this running on Vertrauen's Linux nodes (accessible at cv       .synchro.net), so if you're just curious or want a flash-back to the original       (circa 1976) Adventure game, give it a try.              For more information on how I have this configured in Synchronet for Linux, see       http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:door:adventure       --         digital man (rob)              Rush quote #59:       He's got a force field and a flexible plan, got a date w/fate in a black sedan       Norco, CA WX: 67.0øF, 67.0% humidity, 5 mph ESE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs       --- SBBSecho 3.15-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 92/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 114/705 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/120 131 129/305 153/757 7715 154/10 218/700 840 220/70       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 226/17 30 100 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 200 206       SEEN-BY: 229/275 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 282/1038 298/25 301/1 113 305/3 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 4500/1 5020/1042       PATH: 103/705 301/1 221/6 218/840 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
