DM> You can, yes. But more advanced door (e.g. those that save state information to files), would be better written using COM
DM> I/O so that the door program can detect user disconnect and handle that gracefully (e.g. save state information to files).
DM> Most traditional door games, for example, are written using COM I/O.

COM I/O would be opening uarts etc? how would that go with a telnet connection? I know in linux it's pretty much just a pipe but ??

got a ton to read lol

>> i dont do anything fancy text wise i should be good.
DM> Fancy text is not a problem, stdio, or otherwise.

oooh curses maybe ?

DM> Yes, the standard "drop files" contain that information. If you use a door development kit (and there are many of them),
DM> they handle these details for you (opening/reading the drop files, sending ANSI when appropriate, abstracting the reading
DM> and writing to the serial/COM port).
any particular one i should go get ?
