Python Commodore BBS multi-client This is intended for commodore 64, c128 and most commodore compatible machines (as the new Commander X16 under development)
This is a working Python 3.X script that will help you implement a Commodore Petscii BBS.
- You have to setup MySQL database "cbmbbs" with the instructions below this readme
- Basic functionality: Login and Register a NEW user
- In progress: Sample board read and write posts. (not in this release)
Included Files:
-
bbs.py -> main file. Just run in terminal user@yourcomputer:~/yourdirectory $ python3 bbs.py
-
funct.py -> main bbs functions
-
welcome.seq -> a sequence (random chars) file generated with http://petscii.krissz.hu/ this is a welcome banner example. menu.seq -> a sequence (random chars) file generated with http://petscii.krissz.hu/ this is a menu example.
