    Will it support winsockets? That seems to be the trickiest part for
    door developers...

    Thank you for the question! This is my first door and I hadn't given that any thought. I've implemented it but don't have a live Windows BBS to test it on. Some info about winsock support for Immortal Barons at https://andy5995.github.io/immortal-barons/door-setup/#how-the-game-talks-to-th

    Please let me know if you try
    it out and your results.

    Sounds very interesting. Keep us up to date on your progress, in particular when it is ready for "live" BBS testing.

    Sure... I setup a Mystic BBS today and added it as a door. Worked pretty well.

    As for when it's ready for "live" testing, do you mean when all the known bugs are worked out? It's playable now, but some of the math may be off. Pretty soon, I'll need more feedback about that. And there's a couple dip options that haven't been implemented yet. Basically if you're just curious, you might want to set it up as a door (https://andy5995.github.io/immortal-barons/door-setup/) and play a few turns. Otherwise, I'll certainly remember to post here when it's more developed.

    As for IBBS, I haven't done enough testing on that to say it's even test-playable yet, so I wouldn't suggest to testing that yet to anyone (unless you're a developer thinking about contributing).

    Sorry I think I read something wrong and had the impression that you didn't really think it was ready for others to be installing yet. ;) I am curious enough that I will try to grab a copy in the next couple of days.

    This is a game I'm working on.

    Immortal Barons

    https://github.com/andy5995/immortal-barons

    Immortal Barons is a turn-based strategy game for the terminal. You rule a barony in a ruined, post-apocalyptic
    world. You buy land, feed your people, build an army, and fight rival empires. The goal is to have the highest
    net worth when the turns run out, or to conquer everyone else.

    The game is written in Go. It is an independent remake, inspired by the 1990s BBS door game Barren Realms
    Elite.

    Early work in progress. Immortal Barons is not ready for real play-testing or inter-BBS (IBBS) play yet.
    Mechanics are still changing.
