Opry99er Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hey all... Posting this to all boards and lists... With help from the SysOp and Co-SysOp of the Heatwave BBS, I have a new game up in the game section of the BBS. It's officially titled BaseBall and is now available to play. You control a team of allstars and you play a 9 inning (or more) game against another team of all time greats. You select how you want to approach each at bat, the score is kept per inning and a simple base path is there on screen so you can visually see your players on base. You can view the matchups in order to determine how you want to approach the at-bat... If your pitcher is at the plate, you may want to lay down a bunt to advance the runners because the likelihood of a pitcher hitting a triple or home run is very low. Hop on to heatwave today and give it a go!!! Feedback is most welcome, guys!

+InsaneMultitasker Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 unfortunately the UDS-10 devices do not send a "busy" message when a 2nd person tries to connect. If the connection is refused, try again a little later.

Opry99er Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 As clarification, it is, or is not, possible to just hop on heatwavebbs.com via a browser? I was under the impression you had to dial in or use a Telnet client..... That might prove confusing for non-BBS users...

Opry99er Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I was able to hop right on using my Telnet client. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/214265-new-bbs-door-game/#findComment-2788581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Hatter Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It is only Telnet or Dialup. Telnet://heatwavebbs.com Phone: 602-955-4491 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/214265-new-bbs-door-game/#findComment-2788676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unhuman Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Hrmfff - "telnet heatwavebbs.com" doesn't work either - connection refused. What port? unless it's already being used and won't allow others... Yep, that's it. Owen was in my way!

Mad Hatter Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Yeah, think of "connetion refused" as a busy signal. Unfortunately with my setup, I cannot display a banner which states that the BBS is occupied and to try again later.

unhuman Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Playing now. Had no runners on base but it told me runners on 2nd and 3rd advance. I lost 11-5. It was 4-4 and then they lit me up in the top of the 8th. BOX SCORE ************************ * RUNS * HITS * STK-OUT* ************************ AWAY* 11 * 16 * 9 ************************ HOME* 5 * 12 * 5 ************************ Some minor space formatting issues there...

Opry99er Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 As far as that "Runners on second and third advance" thing... It was a bug I thought I had squashed. Damn.... We're you able to check the matchups okay? I had a thought that WHIP vs. OPS might be confusing for non-baseball lovers... Im not a sabremetrics guy, but those REALLY are the best matchup stats as opposed to Batting average vs. ERA. One little quirk that I probably shouldn't mention.....well, damn. I guess I won't be giving up too much here if I tell ya.... I use this, so might as well give it up. If you need a run with less than two outs and a man on third, bunt. You're guaranteed to advance runners at the cost of an out. I won a game last night, 6-5 in the bottom of the 9 because I was down 4-5 with no outs. Bunted twice to score my base runners who were in scoring position, won on a walk off sacrifice bunt. That's the only unconditional play in the game... You can always advance runners with a bunt, but it costs you an out. Maybe I shouldn't have shared that piece of the code. Happy bunting, gentlemen!

unhuman Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I did the bunt with runners on 2nd and 3rd thinking my guys would advance. It worked. My screen doesn't look that bad, just 1 char skews, not the big mess I pasted.
