    From Andy Alt@1:153/757 to All on Sat Jul 4 15:00:26 2026
    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.

    Can I create a win32 go binary? Will there be socket support? If you want
    to support DOS and Win32 BBSes, these are mandatory...

    DOS won't be supported, unfortunately. As for winsock, here's a copy of what I wrote in the fsx echo ;)

    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 in 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.

    Many DOS BBSes are under Windows 32 bit and can run 32 bit windows doors.

    I guess I could compile it, but I'd really like a Win32 binary.

    I'm really glad to hear that!

    Is this UTF-8 or CP-437? It's got some weird characters. My system uses CP437.
