I've posted the #DND #HP2000 #basic code on my GitHub account at https://github.com/johnnymarauder/dnd
I am still trying to locate the original authors of this game, written back in the mid 70's at the University of Northern Iowa.
Please Boost and help me find them!

If there are Karen's in the room, RUN!!

I keep forgetting to link to the game! Set your telnet client to use ^H as backspace, then telnet to frieltek.com:2323. Press ^M^J to get the login prompt. The type in HEL-T001,DNDTST,2 and press enter.
Enjoy!Message me if you have any problems or would like your own account on the HP2000/Access TimeShare BASIC system. "For the love of Vintage computing!"

I fixed a couple more bugs in the DnD game on the HP2000. Heal was broken, and the FD 'Fight to the Death' mode basically just killed you. Oops. These were typos when entering that old text code into the system. On the upside, it is very stable and working. Now to start smoothing out the text display and remove some of the testing 'you are here' stuff I put in to debug it. There is no debugger in the HP2000 BASIC!

Success! I have the HP2000/Access TimeShare BASIC version of DND running! I have it setup so you can Telnet in. Here's how:
1. Set your telnet client up to use ^H for backspace (I use PuTTY)
2. Telnet to frieltek.com:2323
3. Press ^M ^J to get the login prompt
4. Type in HELLO-T001.DNDTST,2 and press Enter.
5. Enjoy! -

I run an HP2000/Access system on the internet, lots of vintage fun with BASIC! I may have accidentally done the #HP3000 and meant to do the #HP2000.Cheers!

Made some nice progress today on the DND game running on the HP2000! I actually found the limit on code for any single program, so I had to split the main DND up with a second program that can be CHAIN'd into and then back again. Think of it as putting the GOSUBs in another program and then returning when needed.
If you have Telnet (and why wouldn't you?) and want to see what this is about, DM me!

Dnd Game Update:
Yesterday I filled in the list of 30 monsters that an adventurer can encounter. I tried to rank them from easy to hard. Now I have to modify the probability tables for hits per weapon and defense per armor type.The game is playable, but I am finding bugs in the code. Imagine that from 45 year old BASIC code!
Looking for helpers too!

@DataLorean #PaperTape on an #HP2000 mainframe! #PunchCards (very briefly). #Cassette. Then floppies (5 1/4; 3 1/2).

Getting further with the game development for Dragons and Dungeons on the HP2000 TimeShare BASIC system. Within the next week or so, I should be ready for people to actually beta test connecting and trying it out. I've setup a Discord server to help keep track of messages and testing. Check it out here:

I've created a Facebook Group to help with the completion of the #HP2000 #DND #TextBased #Game. Please join me at https://www.facebook.com/groups/3334344616853330 All are welcome, even if you just want to play the game and submit bug reports.
Thank you!

Now that there is a complete HP2000 TSB emulator available, I've put it online on the Internet and have all the code I kept for DND typed in. I'm just missing the code that probably encompassed the initial instructions, and the base code to configure the items used in the game. If this is something you'd be interested in helping with, please DM me and I will create an account for you on the system.
Also, please BOOST this!

All of the source for the #DND game is entered on the #HP2000. I'll try to work backwards through the code I have to try to recreate the missing *Dragon code.
I would like to get assistance for thinking up the names for the monsters, weapons, and armor.
Not sure Mastodon is the best place to continue this thread as I think a forum or Facebook group would be more appropriate.
If you want to participate, please let me know and be sure to Boost this! Thanks!

#UNI #Late70s #HP2000 #DnD #*Lords #*Dragon #BasicGameOnAuthors
I am searching for the guys that wrote the game DND on the University of Northern Iowa's HP-2000 TimeShare BASIC. I printed out a copy of the DND source, and the *LORDS that it CHAINed to. I am missing the code for *DRAGON. My only references inside the source are the names "#MageStone" and "#MageLauterbach"
Please Boost this as I would like to see if they are online anywhere and maybe can help fill in the blanks!
Thanks!

Both terminals connected to my HP2000 Access system; one printing out basic source and the other printing out mazes.
Sweet!
