You'd probably be better off just writing your own multinode chatãmodule and including the game in it.ãã > Also, is there any way to make sure that all the nodes synchã > up this way?..ããNot sure what you mean here.ãã > Has anyone else here ever even played Farwest trivia on any MBBS systemsã > and know what I'm talking about?.. :)ããI don't remember, but I've seen how MBBS games/modules could be integrated withãtheir chat system. Right now, Synchronet doesn't have anything like that.ãã digital manã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
