Fibs.Net

.NET Core library, proxy and tests as well as web client for First Internet Backgammon Server (FIBS); all very much under development - patches are welcome.

Usage

• Build Fibs.Net.sln:

  C:\Fibs.Net\> dotnet restore C:\Fibs.Net\> msbuild Fibs.Net.sln

• Execute the FibsProxy project, which will set up a WebSocket proxy for fibs.com:4321 on port 5000:

  C:\Fibs.Net\src\FibsProxy> dotnet run

  The index.html in FibsProxy\wwwroot is just a raw proof-of-concept HTML client, not a real FIBS client.

• The real FIBS client is under development in FibsWeb. It's written in Polymer. To run the FibsWeb client, install the Polymer tools and execute the following from the FibsWeb folder:

  C:\Fibs.Net\src\FibsWeb> polymer serve -o

• To do anything (and you can't do much yet), you need to login and to login, you must first have a FIBS account, which you can get by logging in as guest via telnet:

  telnet fibs.com:4321

  If you don't have a telnet client (and Windows doesn't seem to ship with one anymore), I recommend puttytel. Once you have it downloaded, you can log into FIBS with the following:

  puttytel telnet://fibs.com:4321

Enjoy Fibs.Net!
