│ Description │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Tournament Blackjack is an impressive addition to any BBS. This game is
especially well suited to multinode BBS systems, since it allows players
on multiple nodes to participate in the SAME blackjack game with cards
from the same deck. The players may even chat with each other while they
wait their turn to play. There are many SysOp configurable items, such
as the amount of starting money, money per day, number of decks in the
card shoe, etc. All of these can be configured via the CONFIG
command line parameter.
This BBS game also supports Inter-BBS playing through the fidonet
technology. Unlike other BBS games that require special routing of files,
this game sends all of the necessary information via netmail messages.
You do not have to do anything special to route the messages, since your
fidonet frontend (Front Door etc...) will handle all of the necessary
routing. You simply need to find some boards to form a Tournament, and
list all of them in the INTERBBS.CFG file (discussed later).
For quick installation, see the INSTALLATION section.
BBS SUPPORT:
The following BBS Systems are automatically supported. If your
system is not listed, please notify me, and send me the format of
your dropfile (or find a converter)
- Remote Access - Renegade
- QuickBBS - PC-Board
- Maximus - Opus
- Wildcat! - WWIV
- Spitfire - SuperBBS
- Telegard - RBBS-PC
- TriTel - GAP
- Synchronet (Use DORINFOx.DEF)
COMMUNICATIONS:
- Support for FOSSILS, internal communications to 115,200, and
non-standard communication ports.
- Monitors carrier detect signal and returns to BBS
- Correctly detects a keyboard timeout and returns to BBS
- Monitors the time remaining, and returns to BBS
- Function keys for sysops to alter user time, chat, etc...
MULTINODE SUPPORT
- File locking and sharing using SHARE.EXE for ALL critical files
including the data and log files.
- Gives up time slices for popular multitaskers including Desqview,
OS/2 and Windows
- Individual logfiles for each node.
INTER-BBS SUPPORT
- Extremely simple for Sysops to set up, and extremely simple for
the League Coodinator to maintain the league.
- All player data is shared among the BBS systems, and users may send
telegrams to each other from within the game using colors and a
ANSI editor (if they have ANSI).
- The League Coordinator can automatically send the INTERBBS.CFG file
to all participating systems and those systems will automatically
import the file and update their settings to match the league.
(GAC_BJ SENDCONFIG)
- All BBSs in the League can be forced to use the same configuration
parameters, thus insuring all BBSs are running identical games.
- Checks for duplicate players, and only allows a given user name
(their real name) to be used on one system at a time.
- Will not import information from BBS not listed in the current
INTERBBS.CFG file.
- The league coordinator can cause a reset of the game at any time
by simply using a command line switch (GAC_BJ RESET)
- Any SysOp in the League can use the SENDALL command line paramter
to send a personal NetMail to all of the other SysOps in a League.
Excellent for coordinators to keep members informed
- Uses an encoding technology to send information from one system to
another through Netmail using existing mail networks. This
eliminates the need for any sort of special routing, and eliminates
routing problems that are common with most Inter-BBS games.
- A BBS can particpate in multiple leagues, as long as each league
has a unique League ID.
MISCELANEOUS:
- An easy to use configuration program built in, eliminating the need
to edit configuration files by hand (GAC_BJ CONFIG)
- Creates bulletins showing high scores (GAC_BJ BULLETINS)
- Support for ANSI, AVATAR, ASCII and RIP (currently only uses RIP to
set a 23x80 screen font, thus insuring that the user does not have a
squashed screen effect.)
- Created by a team of quality programmers with over 17 years combined
experience
- Written in C/C++ for the fastest, smallest code possible
- Extensively tested both internally and through betas.
- Reasonable prices
