Is It Possible To Make A Script That Runs Telnet?
« on: March 28, 2006, 12:48:00 PM »
So, I'm a fan of a online, text-based game called MUME (yea it's dorky but then again so is halo 2 addiction).

Is there any way I could telnet connect to MUME? On pc you can either use a client (JMC, zMUD, Powwow, etc) or you can simply

Start: Run: telnet --->
open mume.pvv.org 4242

then simply use the keyboard for gameplay.

With apps like linksboks and the insane power of XBMC / scripts is it possible to do this and I'm just not seeing it.

I have a hardmod w/evox and xbmc. Gimme replys if you can point me in the right direction.

Go for it...maybe you can port telnetlib for python to the xbox if its not already there...then you can read up on RFC 854...

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/Acti...-telnetlib.html

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc854.html

Here's some code:

Good luck.

We'll I'm by no means a coder (one intro to CS class)... It was scheme (which i hear is dumbed down python or something) but I dont think I have the skills to write this script....

Would it be a simple port or what?  Could someone move this to the right forum or could I get an educated opinion from someone familiar with the code?

Welp if you're not up to coding it yourself, don't expect people to do it for you. There's probably not much interest.

You do know that Avalaunch has a telnet client built in right?

Yea I posted in the noobie section and just got a reply about the avaluanch thing... I'll have to get it and try it out....

Man I just dont know how much trouble it might take to code that crap into XDK or whatever xbox language is... I barely have a base knowledge of recursion, etc.  

If someone says it is gonna be a piece of cake then I can see looking into it or gettin a friend at GA Tech enlisted, but if its gonna be a mess then I'll stick to what avalaunch can (hopefully) do.
