    I assume something happened to the person who ran the broken bubble? I just was enjoying multiplayer tetris tonight and wanted to let them know, but doesn't look like I can.

    To anyone else, that's a great piece of work, the multiplayer is very fun.

    Matt's still around (mcmlxxix in #synchronet and other channels at irc.synchro.net). His BBS was up last I check too.

    Hello The,

    I assume something happened to the person who ran the broken bubble?
    I just was enjoying multiplayer tetris tonight and wanted to let them know, but doesn't look like I can.

    To anyone else, that's a great piece of work, the multiplayer is very
    fun.

    That is a great door and I like Bubble Boggle also. I was at one time connecting to the broken bubble for those games but it hasn't answered for a long time so I just run them localy. My tetris doors doesn't work unless I am connected to the broken bubble. It starts up fine but new games don't seem to want to start up when I try to run a local game. Maybe one day I can figure that out.

    Maybe someone could open their JSON port for others to connect to so we could have more BBSs in the games.

    Ttyl :-),

    He's still around, but not active on DOVE-Net. Were you unable to connect to his BBS? I saw him on there earlier today.

    I've just enabled Synchronetris on my JSON-DB server. People are welcome to connect here for that game if they want to:

    bbs.electronicchicken.com:10088

    I can add some others if needed. (The Broken Bubble is supposed to be online, but probably doesn't get much attention from its sysop these days.)

    I don't mind doing that, I'm pretty sure I opened up that port just in case and I'm hosting on AWS so should be stable too (I can look into more later, bbs.lizardmaster.com if you want to try). I only recenty reset up Sync so Tetris came pre installed. My wife was playing and I said, you know that's actually multiplayer if you want to try it out. We spent the next hour playing each other. Maybe just try re-downloading the tetris xtrn subdir from the cvs.

    Ah cool, don't worry about trying to connect to mine then, EC's pretty established, I just added that connection string and will try soon! Thanks!

    My wife was able to start one single player game, and then no games started after that. We had to switch back to local host. I tried again this morning and it was the same. The chat works, it connects, just actually starting a game was the issue.

    Weird. You might try switching back to bbs.thebrokenbubble.com now that he has it back online.

    I can try to troubleshoot it if necessary, but it'd take me some time to sort through it since it's someone else's game.

    I see it is up on his board, but when I try to connect it seems to refuse. I was able to connect to yours though. Is it possible it's something on my end? I believe I added 10088 as allowable on AWS.

    !JavaScript /home/ubuntu/sbbs/exec/xtrn_sec.js line 61: uncaught exception: err

    There's a bug in the game's service script, which means it probably works for a while after the server hosting the DB has been restarted, then fails. I've reported the bug to the author; he'll likely fix it soon, or I can sort it out.

    He's made an update which probably doesn't solve the problem entirely, but will prevent the service from crashing and make the bug a bit easier to track down.

    Please try again (using his DB server or mine) when you get a chance.

    The problem was sort of worked around but not fixed. One of us might have some new messages in our log pointing to the source of the problem.
