Hi. Any chance of T-host games being played here, please?
I am working on that, although with low priority. Current status of THost on PlanetsCentral:
(+) I have the possibility to run THost in DOS emulation on the server.
(-) Things that are still missing:
- a turn checker. You want to know whether your turn will be accepted. I am undecided between using PHost as turn-checker for THost, or c2check (a C++ port of check), or nothing. In general, for THost, even detecting that host failed (crashed) is hard.
- configuration. Need some way to configure the thing, i.e. convert pconfig.src fragments like this one into an appropriate hconfig
- add-ons. I am not sure whether you'll be able to use PTScore with THost.
In the end, nothing impossible, but it takes its time...
