Thanks Josh, I appreciate the answer. I've been poking around in the xtrn
folder on CVS, there's a lot of good stuff there, but a couple of the

games

seem to be using the older library you spoke of.

For sure. I love MCMLXXIX's and echicken's games, particularly Bubble Boggle and Star Trek.

If you're looking for something new, I wrote a JS game called Doubles (it's a BBS version of "2048"), as well an informational door called Sports Stats. You can find them on my github page: http://www.github.com/kirkman

I think I play the Star Trek game more than any other game on my own BBS, lol. I defintely have to check out Doubles! I have your Sports Stats installed and it works wonderfully. I'm not much of sports fan myself, but I love seeing
what kind of stuff can be done to gather live info and render itin something you can reach over Telnet. Simply amazing, I must say. :-)

Wow - I'm glad somebody's enjoying it. (Unless you aren't, and you're some kind of masochist. If so, that's cool - I mean, whatever turns your crank.)

I've been thinking about redoing that game, just trying to come up with a good list of revisions and additions. So far the only change I want to make is to let people send in the next wave of enemies whenever they're ready. Sucks to be twiddling your thumbs for 25 seconds after killing the Pakleds or whatever.

Of course, I should probably finish up that RSS thing first.

Star Trek is an excellent game. I really liked the large exploration based spin off that's in the testing section on mcmlxxix's board, forgive me if I get the name wrong the Endless Sky or somesuch. I've always been impressed with Star Trek, but that version was definitely pretty darn sweet for a demo. Honestly if you turned that into a multi-player game I think it could be pretty popular.

Anyhow, I think Star Trek is one of the cooler new bbs doors out there, along with the new Chicken Delivery, which is excellent, not just technically, but I like the creativity of the level design and it really keeps you interested and I feel a lot more in control than I did in the old version. These sprite games are like BBS gateway drugs, so I think they're great. Really cool stuff.

The new Gooble Gobble is also a much improved game, my only complaint would be the way the controls behave slightly differently from pacman, where you can stall the character out. I hope you know I like your games though; when you talk about a new Star Trek and ideas I think of the demo on the broken bubble and how excellent that game looks like it could be to me. If you ever decide to develop that Star Trek-esque spin off I think it could become something pretty spectacular.

cheers,

Hahaha, I actually do enjoy it. For real. It's simple, it's fun, and my time commitment is whatever I want it to be (which works since I always seem to be busy lately).

I should ask him to remove that.

I almost started working on it a few weeks ago, but I couldn't decide what direction I wanted to go with it. I'll have to think about what form the multi-player aspect would take. Maybe I'll work on it at some point this winter. Maybe not.

Anyhow, I think Star Trek is one of the cooler new bbs doors out there,

Thanks. It's fun as a quick diversion, I guess, but a bit on the boring side. I guess it was more of an "I wrote this sprite library ... now what do I do with it" kind of project.

I actually kind of like being able to stop the character, but I guess I forgot what the real pac-man controls did and didn't allow you to do.

Well, that game came before Star Trek. I think I just lost interest in it and made a trimmed down arcade shooter thingy instead. I'll let you know if I start working on it again at some point.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hmm... well, since you might considering ideas I'll throw out a few and if anything sticks feel free to use it.

While I think the game were it merely a shooter could be fun, I think the real power could come from a dynamic map. Like in tradewars, imagine being able to build up sectors with defenses. Unlike in tradewars, you wouldn't trade for resources perhaps you could tow or work sprites like in minecraft. You could attack people's bases like in Clash of Clans, in an MMO with asteroids style gameplay with improved graphics.

That's kind of a general idea of the gameplay elements I think might create a wider audience. A mish mash of a few things, I could probably expand more but hopefully you get the idea.
