Net Angband: alpha testing

Cool. Although I don't think I can play it, unless you introduce a delayed terminal flush for waiting input.

I'm not sure I totally understand your concern--do you mean that the draws are happening too fast and you want to see more intermediate output?

Anyterm is a project that I just found, so I'm going to dive into the source to try to address various problems we find. Fixing some of the xterm escape handling will be a big priority, and your issue may be as well.

The delay is a bit hard to play with, and the screen needs to be cleared of old tiles frequently, but this has potential! Very cool!

This is way cool, I will play on your server on lunch breaks from time to time.

A quick test says this is very cool. I have a noticeable (and variable) delay between keypress and action, but I guess I can't blame you for the inadequacies of the internet

I'd be willing to host a mirror of it.... although syncing the leaderboards and save files would be interesting. I have plenty of bandwidth on one of my servers.

So, based on one of the earlier threads here, I have set up a small service to play Angband online via a Javascript terminal. You have a "register" a username and password (which is saved on my server as a hash). I would recommend not using an important password (although it is not saved in the clear).

The game is at: http://cage.bearhome.net:7777

Arrow keys don't seem to work for me right now, but the numpad and number keys (and presumably rogue keys) all work fine. It is currently playing GCU in 16 colors--if I can patch anyterm to handle 256-color xterm I will upgrade that.

EDIT: Right now the only game option is HEAD. Eventually I hope to put up a few different versions of Angband (and maybe even some variants).

I am currently limiting it to 10 simultaneous connections to try to make sure my server doesn't get destroyed. Please let me know if you have problems, if you enjoy it, etc, etc.
