THE BROKEN THRONE
By Tom Boutell, 11/20/90. Do whatever you want with it, provided changed
versions are not released without clearing them through me first. I intend
to act as a switchboard for new versions of the game.
TO INSTALL THE GAME
Type "make btserver" to make the server, then type "make btclient" to make
the client.
IF IT WORKS
Pat yourself on the back and read "bt.doc" next to learn how to start
up and play the game!
IF IT DOESN'T WORK
If "make btserver" fails, I will be very, very surprised. Please mail me
the details (boutell@freezer.it.udel.edu).
If "make btclient" fails, I won't be so surprised. This is because the game
plays games with stdin to find out if there are characters waiting or not.
This shouldn't vary from one Unix to another but it probably will anyway.
If you can fix it for your machine, great; mail me what you did so I can
create a compile- time option for that machine. One possible replacement
approach for System V folks is to use the nodelay() routine of Curses.
(This routine is missing in SunOS curses. Ahrgh.) Of course, if the code
runs as- is, you're golden!
