brcon2025: Game programming can be simple.

Brcon2025 is nearing. On Thursday we want to explore the world of game
programming on gopher. Gopher stands for simplicity. Do you wonder how
simple a game in gopher can be?

       gopher://farragofiction.com/1

Here is a tutorial on how to create your game:

       % mkdir gophdungeon
       % git clone git://bitreich.org/geomyidae
       % cd geomyidae && make && ./geomyidae -b $(pwd)/../gophdungeon -p 7070&
       % mkdir -p gophdungeon/NORTH/WEST/EAST/NORTH/SOUTH/WEST/NORTH
       % ed gophdungeon/NORTH/WEST/EAST/NORTH/SOUTH/WEST/NORTH/ending.txt
       i
       You reached the ending!
       .
       w
       q
       % git clone git://bitreich.org/sacc
       % cd sacc && make && ./sacc gopher://localhost:7070
       # Have fun!

Various elements you can add easily:

       * More directions: NORTH-WEST? UNDERWORLD?
       * Different index formats: index.gph, index.dcgi, index.cgi,
         index.txt, index.bob, index.bin
       * All kind of file formats: hell.docx,
         secret_balance_sheet_of_our_company_being_bankrupt.xlsx
       * All kind of themes. How about streets?

Please let me know at [email protected] or #bitreich-en with which ideas you
came up!

Let the fun begin!


Sincerely yours,

20h
Chief Gaming Officer (CGO)
