seems to me like there's a core group of people actively playing the
game and some who set it up and never play it, so the usual mix of engagement / disengagement.. same can be said for any inter-bbs game I think.

Sure, I'll look to fixing the planet over flow bug, but mighn't be for a
few days yet.

I agree other inter-bbs doors are not (for the most part) being
actively updated/extended... and mostly work fine even now :) I guess
that was an appeal at the time for GD and FH in that the community had
you developing something at that stage.

One of the main reasons I started writing doors was to give people on
raspberry pis etc to have an easier way to get games working without
having to deal with dos emulation etc, which at the time was pretty hit
and miss (dosbox not having file locking etc). Galactic Dynasty at this
stage (apart from the bugs) I think of as finished - I don't plan on
extending it further.

I think it seems fine to keep them running at the moment in Z21...

Ok

..so just following up on this comment, I'd best try and get the
'current' versions of the software for Windows and Linux and ensure
they are the ones hatched out to nodes..

To be honest, I've lost track of which versions are which. I thought I'd
fixed the lua bug a while back but I mustn't have committed it. If you
want me to make another build for you I can, (though the lua bug just
really needs the .lua file copied over)

But I'm also left wondering if bugs pop up and you (and fair enough)
opt not to want to fix them any more... is it worth continuing to run
the inter-bbs game if a bug that's discovered may not get fixed going forward?

Maybe not, I guess that's a question best put to those who are playing
it. Apart from the buying billions of planets overflow thing, which can
be avoided by resetting fairly often I guess, I don't think there's
anything too game breaking. (and it's not like Barren Realms Elite or any
of the other more popular InterBBS doors are getting updates either ;)

If people are actually keen on playing it (rather than just setting it up
for the sake of setting it up) I would be happy to fix that over flow bug
(but it would mean an actual update)
