RFS: kbtin -- A text-based MUD client
Do ITPs get their birthday presents? It would be cruel to have #213361
spend its bday in the cramped, smelly BTS. The last RFS ended in a small
flamewar <holy war>with heretics who dared to claim that tinyfugue (tf) is
usable...
Right, try to get tf to:
* play a "game" like "dpkg-buildpackage" or "mysql-client"
* understand a similar language as zMud (used by ~70% of Windows players)
* survive a player saying 255 251 86 255 250 86 255 240 on a server
without full-blown TELNET additions (double 255 on LP): requests for
criminally insecure protocol extensions like MCCP or MXP are denied
* trigger a message containing color codes
* handle correctly triggers/substitions on messages split on network
packet boundaries --and-- allow prompts at the same time
</holy war>
(In other words, it's not redundant with other clients in Debian)
The packages are available from mentors.debian.net and from
http://angband.pl/debian/kbtin/, and are lin{tian,da} clean.
It would be really nice if I could find a sponsor...
best regards
