Just a little update on the state of the Inter-BBS games for synchronet.

I've resolved a connectivity issue on my server, so I've moved hosting for the (working) games back to my system. If you are running any of the following games and are interested in linking up to the Inter-BBS network, go ahead and update your game files from Synchronet CVS and read the updated interbbs.doc files.

NOTE: the default for these games is now to connect to localhost, rather than to my system, so if you update, you may have to re-edit those files, but that's all explained in the docs.

The following games are working without any reported issues:

Boggle
Star Stocks
Uberblox
Maze Race
Synchronetris
Tradewars II

The following games are not working (so dont bother with them):

Tank Battle
Sea Battle

There are a few other games that are fun also, though they are not Inter-BBS:

Chicken Delivery
Gooble
DiceWarz 1

I believe chess, dicewarz 2, and scrabble are going to be ready soon as well, and I'll post something in here when that happens.

I'm still having a problem with Trade Wars II however. The game won't execute but got the config working finally but that's as far as it will work at the moment.

It would probably help if I put the server information in the message:

bbs.thebrokenbubble.com
10088

Also, I forgot to mention another good game, Fatfish, which has interbbs scoring and is one of the more interesting games out there.
