Links to BBS Doors to run on your BBS !
|
"Doors" are programs written to run from within your BBS.
BBS Doors were orignally written to provide more "functions" for a BBS. There are chat doors, games, time banks,
dating doors, BBS Lists and the types of doors are endless. Many of the "doors" can be run in a stand alone mode
for local use, but were designed to allow "callers" to a BBS to access them.
The first doors written in 1979-1980 were written to allow a single caller into the door to do something. In the
case of a game, the player could take their turn and would have to wait until the next day or after all other players
in the game had completed thier turns before he/she could take another turn. Many of these older doors written prior
to ~1988 were "single node" doors and only allowed one player at a time to use them.
Many doors written after ~1988 were written to allow multiple players into the game at once (also known as multi-node).
This allowed a more interactive game. Some were chat doors allowing real time online chat, others were games where
players could play against a "live" player.
Since BBSing started before the Internet was such a big hit, this was online entertainment.
(back then it was called ARPANET, click here for some history)
