Synchronet and MBBS do
I've played Sudoku on Shawn's set up on his Raspberry pi setup
that, but he's not been able to get Scrabble to work on it yet
Yup.... It's been around for a very long time.... back to when
(or probably before) I got into bbsing... and that's the early
nineties or so...

I read somewhere about MBBS supporting BBS door games.

That is probably the native game, ncurses based. Same could be said
about cpat which is a collection of solitaire games (eg Klondike, FreeCell, Spider, etc). However these are all single player games
which are simpler to output to a single remote as opposed to a two or
more person games like Scrabble, Poker and the such.

Understood.

The latest version I saw was dated sometime back in 1993.
That's what Sean's using.... :)

That's what Sean's using.... :)Actually MBSE but I knew what you meant.
Myself I need to update this setup with the cybertoast countdown
tagline. But first I need to take care of a few other issues totally unrelated to fidonet and/or BBSing on the x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu.
That is the most capable system available to me as we speak and it
needs some upgrades to look after some less capable systems that might rear their ugly heads soon.

Nope, that's Major BBS, a DOS-based BBS. I'm using MBSE. Two very different BBS packages. :)
Right now I am looking at using MBSE's built-in NNTP support to start
to gate a few newsgroups into the BBS.
Always something that needs doing... :)
What did you find out in your latin1 testing....?
And I see you are pointing off someone in Europe now....?

I don't need to but just thought I might want to.
What did you find out in your latin1 testing....?
I ended up reminding myself to stick with utf-8 and the heck with converting.
And I see you are pointing off someone in Europe now....?
I've been doing it for some time now. I am pretty sure I've posted
with it in this echoarea at least once before as Henri corrected the
Dutch tagline then which became the default since that time.
So you've mostly been using that for other echos....?
Of course, when you post thru the point, you aren't using our
special countdown, either... ;)

No more than I did for this echoarea but now that the node is no more
I am using it to pick up the slack ... sort of speak. The echoareas I frequent are pretty well much dead.

Right. I still have to move that over to this machine's fidonet
pointy thingy, aka Little Mikey's EuroPoint. In the meantime, does
this add up?

Just needs a tad of tweaking to make it a tagline as well as have it output to the proper place. My excuse as to why I haven't done it yet
is that I am hacking a raspberrypi as we speak in order to call it the official flagship of the Motorshed series; armando@smrfish.net (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu). I have it booting but I still need to
solder the header to the RTC/power hat as well as build the OS from scratch. I am giving myself a month to have this part done.
The next one will be trickier as I plan to use a 32 bit mips with a
GPS supplied pulse per second source for the local net, including the wireless networks (two of them).
do we want an unnotable cybertoast on Monday....? For Guy, or
Roy, or whomever.... <G>
You are keeping busy, I see... :)

Unless they're buying I'd say let's skip it as funds are very skimpy
at the moment. To me it was a choice between the new Raspberry Pi or celebrating an off decade. I think you already know which one I
chose.
Besides we can make up for it on the first of 2019. I'll make
sure there will be plenty of the good stuff. :-)

Yes indeed. I keep running into barriers and have to take a breather
and remind myself that I've been on this path before and managed to
get it working in pure 64 bit world. Also there is an onboard
wireless chip that wasn't on the last one. That threw me for awhile
as it is one I haven't used before and it caused way too much grief.
I figured it out earlier today and now am playing around with software
... again.
As I've said before, we know how to have fun at the edge of the Earth.

Not quite there yet but at least it's onboard.
