Idea: Porting Usurper to Javascript
From
Codefenix@VERT/CONCHAOS to
All on Sun Jul 12 11:21:43 2020
I wonder whether it would be a worthwhile endeavor to re-write Usurper as a Javascript door for Sync, much like how LORD, LORD2, and TW2 have been done. From looking at the source on Github, it seems like it would be daunting but doable. Could probably make fixes and improvements along the way -- I'm sure most sysops familiar with Usurper would agree that its bugginess is legendary.ããSo, just to gauge interest, would any sysops run a JS version of Usurper if one were available?ããOr, by chance, is such a project already being worked on by someone?ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Seek mundanity's cure | conchaos.synchro.net | ConstructiveChaos BBSã

No point in rewriting it. You could fork it, orãdevelop something similar though. If you do something interesting, plenty ofãfolks will try it out something new given there's not a lot of new door gamesãcoming out these days.ãã

I vote for js port, and if you port them, please think use some kind of i18n/locales support, if you can insolate all strings, can be easy
translated to anpther language.
I like to play it in Spanish.

Step 1: Copy Deuce's LORD game in CVS.
Step 2: Find/Replace "Legend of the Red Dragon" with "Usurper"
Step 3: EnjoY your JS-Usurper game!
