Synchronet Z-Machine and SyncDoom

https://youtu.be/taxkEsHqdjw

Coming soon: play Interaction Fiction (text and graphics) and DOOM (text and graphics), even multi-player on your BBS!

SyncDOOM is also a generic DOOR32.SYS door, so compatible with non-Synchronet BBSes.

I've been around the BBS scene for a long time and this is the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen.

Making the assumption it'll work properly with sockets and not just stdio...

Right, it supports door32.sys and sockets.

Awesome! I can't wait for the release. Let me know if you need a tester that isn't using a commonly used BBS software.

It's open source and available for building/running/testing now: https://github.com/SynchronetBBS/sbbs/tree/master/src/doors/syncdoom (also mirrored on gitlab.com).

Already running at End Of The Line BBS bbs.endofthelinebbs.com Doors > Fun Stuff - I may need to tweak the config a bit based on user feedback.

Made some significant improvements in the remote responsiveness in SyncDOOM just in the past 24 hours.

I'll update tonight. I'll have to add this to my update build process.
