  • Tournament Trivia BBS door - Linux port?

    From Nightfox@VERT/DIGDIST to All on Friday, May 02, 2025 18:16:19
    When I ran my BBS on Windows, one door game I was Tournament Trivia. I've since moved my BBS to Linux, and I haven't seen a Linux version of Tournament Trivia. I have some other trivia games installed now, but I'd be curious if there is a Linux port of Tournament Trivia?

    The author of Tournament Trivia has released the source code (as well as a key generator with source) here:
    https://github.com/evanelias/tournament-trivia

    It uses OpenDoors (a Windows BBS door game toolkit) as well as Windows.h (a C/C++ header file with some Windows definitions), so it looks like it might not be trivial to port to Linux. I could have a look into it, but I'm curious if anyone has already tried porting this door game to Linux?

    OpenDoors is cross-platform: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/tree/master/src/odoors

    ... so it should port to Linux fairly easily.

    Ah, that's good to know. I thought I had seen something in the documentation saying it was for Win32, but maybe in a different copy of OpenDoors I saw somewhere.

    There are a few examples of cross-platform OpenDoors projects in the src/doors directory of the Synchronet git repo. Give them a look-see.
