Title: No password option
Post by: Tarix on August 06, 2007, 10:59:39 pm
For the BBS version of the game I'm thinking about allowing blank passwords.  If you use a blank password for your character then you won't get prompted to login.  Instead you'll just get a regular <Cr>: prompt.

Thoughts?

Sounds good.

Any ideas on changing the <Cr>: prompt?  That's fairly old fashioned these days.  Not many people know what a 'carriage return' is!  hehe

I would like to see a time display of some sort while in a base or the Complex.

Design something and let me know what you come up with.  I don't really want to fuck with your game too much.

I think I'd be kind of sad to see the <Cr>: prompt go though.  Maybe something that was just symbols?

Hmmm... how about:

«┘:

#174 #217 + colon

How about ...
<«┘>:

That preserves the original size as well ...

Doesn't look as nice.  Of course it doesn't actually wait for you to press enter.  Any key gets rid of it ...
