Tried putty first, didn't work for me, neither did a random online client.
According to almighty google Putty seems only to send \r when pressing enter. Could that be the issue?
Anyways... I'm suprised to see a telnet game, and even without playing I'm already thinking: THAT'S AWESOME. :)
Very cool idea to use telnet. Didn't play a whole lot because it takes so long to get anywhere, but it seems to work pretty well. I appreciate the little pickups that add to the story.
McMutton, I think you kept it in SSH mode, not in Telnet mode.
Only sending \r could be an issue, I'll look into it.
Only \r is not an issue to my code, since it replaces \r and \n by emptystring, and checks if the length of the string decreases. Ugly, but fast.
Nope... connection mode is telnet. The game pops up and after that the game doesn't react.
The joke game works a tiny bit better by replying with "<1> was not understood"
Sorry, there was a hidden, breaking bug that when you entered invalid input on the start screen, the game fully crashed.
I am terribly sorry about that.
Sorry if I just killed your session, I was moving the server from a bare SSH session to a session in a screen.
Well I was 75% through the maze at that point :D
But don't worry, I had the patience to restart the game. ^^
I like the twist at the end. The maze is crafted nicely (evil) as well.
At my first try i took all the wrong directions in the beginning first. :D
I'm incredibly sorry. I was adding a controls lookup thing during the game, and forgot to check for online players.
When I try to connect with putty in telnet mode it says: Connection refused
Remember, you have to use the correct port. The default telnet port has no game on it, because too many chinese hackers are trying to log in to it.
ascii style i like it, forgot how much fun it is to make these kind of games,like nethack.
would be nice if the controls were more fluent instead of bashing enter all the time.
Interesting idea - it reminds me some old hack sessions. Unusual gameplay. Well done ++
I think I just crashed the joke game on 8944. The normal one is still working though.
Oh, and it's a nice looking labyrinth. The story was actually pretty good.
I've also managed to escape without talking to M. But the game still thinks we escaped together, somehow.
