This is an advent calendar BBS Door from a scene group called Mistgris! The BBS door is Linux only and has been tested on Ubuntu 23.04 x64. You can probably cross-compile to ARM based systems (e.g. Pi). It also contains a DOS executable to run in dosbox.

• BBS Door Executable & Source (advent + main.go, godoor.go)
• Example shell script for launching w/Door32.sys
• DOS Source (BP7) executable - not a BBS door - for running in dosbox (DOS/madvent.exe + madvent.pas)

Build the Go Program as usual. Then, run ./advent with the --path flag and point to the directory containing door32.sys (include trailing slash and not "door32.sys"):

./advent --path /path/to/dropfile/

Or, you can run locally with the --local flag. This will attempt to utilize UTF-8 encoding instead of CP437:

./advent --local

• BBS version ANSI files are in /art
• ANSI art files should be created @ 80x25 -- but 80th column should be EMPTY
• Placeholder WELCOME.ANS & GOODBYE.ANS art
• Requires door32.sys drop file if running via BBS
• CP437 via BBS, UTF-8 when running --local
• User will timeout after 1 minute no keyboard activity
• DOS verion uses a single .DAT file for calendar art

• Detect art more than 25 rows and allow user scrolling up/down
• Add UTF8 support for local terminal usage
