  • Door games over SSH Possible?

    From Andrew Singleton@singletona082@ctrl-c.club to tilde.projects on Sat Feb 8 09:26:20 2025
    Legend of the Red Dragon, Mafia, Trade Wars 2000, etc.

    Those kind of games. Are they possible via Tilde?

    Don't you have to buy a license or something dumb for TW2002? I can't
    remember. I played it over telnet a lot before but I don't know if it
    has a ssh mode.

    Maybe relevant: https://github.com/erikh/trade

    Brought Trade War because it's a name I remember. Truthfully my being
    online Just barely missed the BBS era and kid me was dismissive of the
    whole thing when a friend of mine was asking if any of the school
    computers had a dialup connection to play LoRD (keep in mind i was also
    getting into MUDs at the time so... hypocrisy, yay!)

    One of the /many/ reasons I want to punch that younger dumber version
    of me.

    Do you know any good MUDs? I really like the concept but I hate RPGs and roleplaying (lol). So I need to make my own MUD or something.

    Also check this out: https://www.thestardock.com/files/Old%20BBS%20Files/TW%20Player%20Docs/

    Lots of TW2002 related documents like strategy guides. I was playing
    TW2002 a few years ago and writing my own client program. It's a lot of
    fun but I got distracted with other stuff.

    I'm obsessed with games that you can play "at a higher level" by
    programming (and that are actually fun) like GreyHack, KSP with
    kOS, TW2002, ....? But the funny thing is they can start feeling
    like work to play! And I'm not even a software guy IRL!

    I was more in the story telling and roleplay aspects for... awhile. As
    it turns out when a community puts value on passive aggressivness and
    cliques form around who's staff or staff buddies? Being aggressivly
    outspoken is a negative. I hung up the MUSH client ...years ago for the
    most part.

    Well it's diffrent when it isn't your literal job. Still is in hobby
    territory even if your game of choice ends up looking like a self
    updating spreadsheet.
