<html><head></head><body>If any of you are on the #gopherproject IRC channel, you may have noticed a new presence there. Today I enabled IRC chat integration into the game's already made chat system. So now players of the game can seamlessly chat about gopher with people in the #gopherproject IRC channel. Now you can seamlessly chat gopher while beta testing. I will soon add gopher mailing list integration so that you can read through and reply back to messages on this list.<br>
<br>
The gopher community is going to have a presence in this game whether they like it or not. I'm honestly not sure if I should put a "just kidding" after this bold statement or not... all I know is that after writing it, I couldn't stop laughing.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On February 14, 2015 6:13:41 PM MST, Kevin Veroneau <kevin@veroneau.net> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<pre class="k9mail">I had a beta tester online last night, and we were able to really test out the <br />chat system, and it seems to work near flawless. He also runs on Windows, and <br />found that the web-based terminal had some interesting limits. I was looking <br />into replacing this web client and using a full VT100 Terminal Emulator for a <br />little while now. I finally updated the web client today and released it onto <br />the server. :)<br /><br />I used the VT100 Terminal Emulator from the awesome ShellInABox project, but <br />the connection to the actual server is custom. It goes through WebSockets of <br />course, rather than AJAX. I did some basic tests of the VT100 client code, <br />and so far it works almost the same as you would expect a UNIX Terminal <br />Emulator to function.<br /><br />Nobody has redeemed any of the previous codes yet, so they are still up for <br />grabs.<br /><br />On February 12, 2015 08:31:27 AM Kevin Veroneau wrote:<br

I am working on a vt100 emulator made in SDL, so it will be<br /> fully cross platform, and even support game specific features. This<br /> client will also be able to play .MOD files as you play the game. Not<br /> sure why so many telnet clients out there don't follow RFC, and base their<br /> settings solely on how the UNIX telnetd works. I can't maintain a server<br /> that supports every single type of client quirk.<br /> <br /> On February 12, 2015 1:35:04 AM MST, Nuno Silva <nunojsilva@ist.utl.pt> <br /></blockquote>wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #ad7fa8; padding-l
