C*Base like webbs
Hi mates,
you probably have heard of the web-bbs, me,Jazzcat,Uzzy,Jucke,Macx and Taper is working on.. Now, we somehow got a major problem.
while Jazzcat,Macx,Jucke and Taper wants to have a real C*Base Emulation, including Key Events (means no mouse clicks etc) and stuff, wich means that we have to use Javascript, me and Uzzy will keep the board core PHP without any Javascript, just like Spankerz Heaven was (yep: i know it was made in Perl.. ).
So i'd like to knnow, what counts more.. having a real c*base clone with almost allfunktion, wich probably will have serious Browser and Os problems since it is build with Javascript/PHP, or just the way like SH used to be.. just with heaps of c/g graphics and mouse-click ;).
i'd like to know what you think! ..
my humble opinion is, that i dislike the idea of making a almost 100% clone emulation of a c64 c*base bbs ... and i couldn't believe that it also will emulate the feelings, you once has got, when you called a c-64 BBS... but anyway, i am open for everthing.
my 2Eurocent.

Funny, I just talked to a friend of mine who works as a webdesigner and php developer. He said it was very possible to do a commandelinebased interface in php... Ohwell.. |

if you want the real c64 feeling, you must restrict the user amount to 1 at a time. ;) |

I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it. As was said earlier, I think it'd be interesting for a while, a novelty, but after that the novelty would wear off. I'm not going to sit around waiting for some bloated Java app to trickle to the computer via dialup and then wait for it to do things simply so I can type .s to save my post.
If it's really going to be done, then I think that a good way of doing it would be to emulate some aspects of C*Base and some aspects of other things. For instance, the message editor. Does anyone remember the ANSI editors PC, Mac and Amiga boards used sometimes? Where your commands would be listed on the top of the screen, and the text was in a "window" (albeit ANSI) that took up the rest? That might be a way to do it, and then click your save command at the top to finish. Something like that. Have it look like C*Base, but make the input method slightly different.
The only "advantage" the command line interface would serve, short of recreating the C*Base experience in a bloated Java application, would be if people with C64's were accessing it. Which we all know they won't.
Just my thoughts.

yep, i guess i'll make it _my_ way (the simple one without the javascript schnick-schnack) .. anyway, my spare time is extreme limited at the mo' ..so it will take longer until it gets finished .. but it will, someday *g |

UC BBS was a much more 'tighter' program. Especially the version by Pudwerx (think it was 1.4) used only on two boards, the resurrected versions of FORUM and Terminal Obsession (both under the Avantgarde lable). Ofcourse these famous 'invite only' boards used older versions back in their real glory days.
C*BASE looked really nice, because of all the graphics that could be used.
Out of the two I think it is better to use C*Base.
I agree with Rough, only one user at a time should be allowed.
It should also be Invite Only and subject to the usual 'level' classifications to each user.
To have it emulated perfectly would be quite ideal. As this project becomes a reality through the persistence of people like Taper. I will be trying to collect graphics and miscellaneous material for the project.
Your contributions (buffers, gfx etc) would be welcome. |
