Greetings, I\'ve set up a public server running an ASCII port of IVAN 0.50 at orthanc.fixme.fi. This is still somewhat experimental (but at least I haven\'t managed to crash it in a while )

I changed the movement commands to vikeys (hjklyubn) since both of the default keysets are horrible on the numpadless dvorak laptop I use for testing. If you use putty to connect, you can set the nethack mode to enable numpad movement.

Reasons to play on a public server:

You can observe other people playing

Get your games recorded automatically

Meet other players\' ghosts
[/list]

It would be nice to have the graphical version online but that would be much more work

Tried to sticky it, but failed. Anyway.

Good lord! Someone doing actual coding on IVAN? Blasphemy!!! =P Wow, wasp, welcome to the board! Keep up the good work.

EDIT: Wait.. How do I make it work?

Download PuTTY and put in the address.

Wow... simply porting it to ascii is quite a feat, not to mention letting other people watch games. Nice work! Glad to have you here

Tiles unfortunately do not work through tty nor curses. It may still be possible to make it work online, but it would require a very different approach and probably a different client program as well.

ask the guy who did crawl online tiles for advice on how to make ivan online tiles happen

Holy shit I did not know of NetTiles. Thanks lampshade, now I guess wasp/jarpiain just needs that info and we\'ll be golden beyond belief.

...multiplayer would be asking a *lot* of jarpiain (and the devs, they still have some say in how their game goes). I\'d be ecstatic at just tiled, bloody/drooly/acidy IVAN online.

And another thing, there\'s no way to see how spoiled stuff is.
