Unfortunately, during this Ludum Dare, I had limited time, because I had to study for an Algebra test.
For this reason I decided to interpret ancient technology as ancient game technology.
I decided to make a game which would run entirely over a telnet connection, like the MUD games of yesteryear.
This game is a simple labyrinth-game with a bit of exploration and a monster.
It is tested on Windows with putty, and Linux (telnet), but other clients should work fine.
Controls:
In menus, type the character of the thing you want, and then a carriage return (ENTER) to confirm.
While moving, type either WASD OR NESW (option during startup), followed by an enter for each character. Sorry about that, limitations of telnet....
telnet 37.139.0.65 1337
Additional joke game on
telnet 37.139.0.65 8944
IMPORTANT: Windows users should use a full telnet-compatible terminal. An example is Putty, but others could also be fine. Web-telnet clients often do NOT work.
MORE IMPORTANT THINGS: Set Putty to TELNET, do NOT keep it in SSH mode.
