Hi there! Happy to read you are enjoying Stone Soup once in a while

Just wanted to let you know that we had to remove the ajaxterm to connect to and play on the servers inside a browser window because it was just too unreliable. Ajaxterm didn’t properly time out connections leaving a huge amount of interrupted games behind and due to connection limits it wasn’t allowing everyone to play either. So.. not your fault it didn’t work!

Awesome to see how you put that 120Mhz box to good use

Cheers!

A Stone Soup fan? I think it’s great too, but it seems that you have betrayed the cult of Nethack! Sacrilige!
Stone Soup is more of hack’n-slash while nethack is more of a puzzle game with hack elements. They’re both wonderfuly beautiful (in tty of course) and get plenty of play time on my EEE 701.

[...] Stone Soup 0.6.0 That’s via telnet crawl.akrasiac.org, on a 120Mhz Pentium machine running Crux. As you might be able see in the lower corner, the memory and processor load are negligible, probably because the bulk of the responsibility is shifted off this machine and out into the ether. I have installed crawl directly on to this computer, but the work involved seems a bit overkill when I can just use telnet to jump into a game remotely. [...]
