I've done something fun in the spirit of BBS's and I hope it's OK to
share here. It's basically a stand alone Door Game Engine in the
works. Hope you enjoy :) Cheers!

EDIT: Not sure if you didn't include the link or it just wasn't
showing up for me. Either way, good work! It looks lovely!

Thank you! It's a lot of fun to work on and really exciting to finally

more and update everyone as it goes :)

Git link? Or not for release yet?
Looks good. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not for release yet.

Will be open sourced on Git when it is sufficiently developed.

Perl 5 or 6?  And why Perl?  Familiarity?

It looks kind of cool, but there's no way that I could play those
games in standard VGA text mode (80x25)....  so is it really "ANSI"?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I run it at 132X60, so you're good! 😉 Yes it is ANSI escape codes sent
over telnet :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSIGameEngine · 2021-08-09 23:32

Perl 5 because of Familiarity :)

If you haven't chosen a public Git hosting service yet, I highly
recommend GitLab.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSIGameEngine · 2021-08-10 00:06

I will keep that in mind. Thanks! May I ask what about GitLab makes it
your recommendation?

I told you people would dig it.. :)

I use a self-hosted instance with my team at work -- the fact that it
*is* FOSS and self-hostable, in addition to being available as a
hosted service, puts it above wholly proprietary service like GitHub.
On top of that, the UI is better, and it has some very nice features
like built-in CI/CD, a web-based IDE accessible right from within the
repo frontend, and built-in LFS.

Any updates? A changelog would be nice.

If you need help in documentation or beta Festung just call. :)
