Saga of The Red Dragon What is S.O.R.D. S.O.R.D is Saga of the Red Dragon, a no-holds-barred, unauthorized rip-off of Seth Able Robinson’s Legend of the Red Dragon from the old BBS days. It was written as a proof of concept to see if it could be done. The first attempt I made was in PHP. It was cumbersome, but if you want to see, it’s in the GIT repo still. Pull the ’lastphp’ branch. Now, it is written in Python, and includes it’s own server! Woot! What does S.O.R.D. Look Like? Glad you asked. Here’s some screenshots. Game Website? Is there somewhere you can see info on the current game? Why yes, yes there is: Game Site What was hard about it? Try re-writing a piece of software with essentially no documentation remaining about how it works (or it never really existed to begin with). Also, getting the ANSI graphics changed over to a unicode character set was no picnic. But I’m pretty proud of it. Where can I play? Oh, telnet, how I have missed you.

This isn’t likely to change either - something is always going to be wierd, when it works at all. Work in progress and all that, but enjoy anyway! Alternativly, and not nearly as cool, if you have java installed, you can use the Web Portal Any more information Why, yes: Git Repository of the current code-base pyDoc Output for the current code-base (minus the main program. pyDoc is weird) Can I help? Sure. Either test away, and e-mail me at jtsage (at) gmail, or if you want to contribute to the code, take a look at the todo list, and write some patches. E-mail em back to me, and as long as they don’t break anything, in they go. Remember, due to the nature of this project, I am not now, nor will I ever be making any money off of this. Donations are a cool idea, but the original idea isn’t mine, so I feel it’s entirely inappropriate. As far as porting any other old door games, make sure it isn’t already done - tradewars for instance still gets updated. What’s with the ugly website I’m lazy. If you want to design something nicer, let me know - I’d rather keep playing with the code - that was the whole point of this little...
