i love this game and as the source is still locked by some asshat, i just rebuilt it using claude.
added some quality of life features… the game predates many text game interface advances (didnt even have color!)… built in web server for providing a JS telnet client or of course you could use your own term.
works pretty well, and i’ve got windows/linux built binaries and source if anyone wants it
some undocumented stuff:
# shows list of users online set prompt on|off Shows your hit points (and stun) in the prompt, like [HP 17/32 STUN 6] -. It’s colored green, yellow or red by health. set quiet on|off Hides villains’ yells, songs and mutterings. Combat, damage, arrivals and other players’ chat still come through set art on|off Shows or hides the pictures in special rooms set ansi on|off Turns color on or off. It takes effect right after login. color and colour also work in place of ansi.
