I wrote a php pipe that allows people to play Zork from their browser http://phpzork.com
Zork is a 20 years old command based adventure games. One of the first and most popular. It's source code was released. Many of us here should remember it. For those who don't know how to play, just type your commands such as "open mailbox", "go east". I compiled Zork on my Linux box and used php to send commands and gather the output for the games with the system() call. It supports all the features of the original games plus some more, like multiple saves and high scores of all players. The interface is also modernized. I didn't have to modify the C code in anyway, it is just a pipe with some processing and database interaction. PHP talks to a MySQL database to store the member informatin (highs score, saves, log) so you cannot play without joining (it's free). http://phpzork.com >> Welcome to Dungeon. This version created 11-MAR-91. You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. << -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
