    From apam@21:1/125 to All on Mon Feb 26 19:27:14 2018
    Hi All

    Today I've been working on an interbbs score sharing system for my games
    and I've added it to SeaBattle (Battleships game).

    If you want to help test, you will need the latest SeaBattle from my
    Jenkins (or github if using linux). and a secret.bbs file which contains
    a key I can allocate to people who want to play (and will work with any
    game I add this to).

    It's a basic client server setup, using php & mongodb on the server side
    and the games use libcurl to interact with the server. So yeah, single
    point of failure... but I will put the server code on github when I've
    ironed it out a bit.

    The point of the secret.bbs is to deter people from posting random stuff
    into the data base. if someone posts crap i can just remove their secret
    key and they can't post anymore.

    I haven't tested the windows version yet.

    You can get the Windows version at my jenkins here:

    https://exoticabbs.com/build/job/SeaBattle-Win32/

    The linux version you will need to build, it's at github:

    https://github.com/apamment/SeaBattle

    If you want a secret key send me an email at apamment@yandex.com with
    your bbs name.

    Awesome! I'm still working on a simple game, and can't even get the doorkit
    to cooperate with me...

    Got it up and running here. I'm guessing it downloads the scores before the game is run, and uploads the scores upon exit? I had to exit the game, and go back into it to see my score listed.

    Also, to anyone cloning from github, it does have a dependency that is required... ;) libcurl4-openssl-dev

    Yes, I'm speaking from experience... :)

    Or, if you need to ask about the dependencies... ;)

    Thanks Andrew!

    Yep that's right.

    As always, I'm keen and if we can establish it as a league game I'd been
    happy to host like Galactic Dynasty.

    It doesn't really work with leagues like galactic dynasty. At this point
    it's really just a score sharing system.

    My plan is to add it to other games I've made (mastermind and sudoku) and
    then perhaps make a sign up page so people can generate their own
    secret.bbs key without me needing to do it manually.
