• AmigaNet and Wordle

    From Xerxes to All on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 10:15:16

    I've added a couple of new things -

    First, I've gotten the AmigaNet echos on the message board which is the first FTN echo base I've gotten working since 2000 when the old BBS was on FidoNet proper (I've had Netmail working with CombatNet for a couple of years now, but the echos didn't work). The Synchronet developer (Rob/Digital Man) has actually scripted alot of the config now for many of the major FTN based networks which made it much easier and only needed a tweek a thing or two.

    Second, I've installed brand new *BBS Tournament* Wordle to the local games. I not a word game kinda guy and hadn't indulged the the Wordle "caze" until I saw the post about the BBS version, but it's actually fun.

    Lastly, I've been adding ANSI graphics. The latest is the BBS logoff, which is from an iCE art pack from 1994. The LORD annoucement during login is from the last version (4.0) in 1998 that Seth Robinson made before he sold the game to Metropolis, and the Login Screen is from ANSIGarden.

    73,

    Tom
