Quite proud of myself for successfully building a Windows 16-bit application that runs on Windows 3.1 - all dialog-based, and it makes network connections, too! Compiled with Visual C++ 1.52 on XP, it works on this old system. Consumes 14kb disk space and does everything in even less RAM :)

@greg This can not be overstated enough that this is absolutely stellar!!!!!

@greg love it, but the obvious question is what AI model have you baked in 😆

(hopefully that brings a smile to you, apologies if not)

@greg can we talk about Dark Sun Online launcher, is that just what you're using to test or did someone spin up support for it somewhere. I never got to play it but the first two are personal favorites.

@ReverendMoose It's a work-in-progress (here's the progress)

Attached: 1 video For the last couple months I have been working on a server recreation for dead MMO "Dark Sun Online: Crimson Sands" along with assistance from @HunterZ@mastodon.sdf.org and @Bogusmeatfactory@dosgame.club. Today we reached a milestone - the ability to create a character, pass the introductory "cutscene" (narration), and walk around the world talking to NPCs! Well, at least I COULD walk around the world, if I hadn't badmouthed the soldier at the start and wound up in a jail cell :P

@greg very nice

@greg @ReverendMoose I am cackling that the game threw you in jail for accidentally mashing through the dialog and choosing to harass the guard.

@greg Nice! Windows XP is actually a great development system as it’s still supported by some of the modern virtualization/emulation tools (i.e. UTM), and even the so-called Windows App (previously known as Microsoft Remote Desktop). I’m currently doing some Windows 95 development and compile my C++ code using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 on Windows XP.
