|
|
|
+* Need backstory for Horrible Harry.
|
|
|
+ - Maybe the silicon used to make the computer is possessed. Sand walked on by the ancient Pharaohs. Perhaps a Pooka has found a new ~ to reside. The wrath of Loki has found an outlet. __Who Knows?__
|
|
|
+ > We don't actually have to give an answer to these questions.
|
|
|
+* As we get closer to Halloween, events happen more often. November 1st everything is OFF. (UTC?)
|
|
|
+ - Do we want it so the entire Month of October it is haunted?
|
|
|
+* Sender code. This takes my codes and translates them into actions.
|
|
|
+* Terminal tracker. Tracks current active colors at any given moment in the buffer, as well as current screen position.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+We need to be able to tell where we are on the screen. If we're at column 75, I don't want to display +5 chars -- it'll mess up the entire display. Even if I can only do column, that's better then nothing at all.

+# MCI Codes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I'm calling them MCI codes for now, because I know what that means. Commands that control delay, display, etc. For the sake of discussing in the document, we're going to say the trigger is "__^__".

|
+* Mangle the BBS intro information. (case-mangle, version-mangle, node-mangle) Possibly switching to Horrible Harry BBS (C) Sands of Time
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Keep the same number of lines! I don't know if Mystic would have issues if when it does the ANSI detect, if the terminals started reporting some other screen position!

|
|
|
+## Event Details
|
|
|
+* case-mangle
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This would consist of chunking the word into 2 or 3 letter groups, and making them all upper/lower, with the next group being the exact opposite of the last.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* word-transpose
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Transpose letters within a word.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* words-transpose
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Transpose words within a group.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* version-mangle
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+π as the version. (3.14159...)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Random versions/releases.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+Version 23.48 for DOS
|
|
|
+Version 2.804 for CP/M
|
|
|
+Version 5 for Minux
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Xenix
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* node-mangle
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+unsigned long = (unsigned long)(- Random (1-100))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A unsigned long of a (small) negative number should be pretty weird and freaky.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* freeze
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Displaying the screen, it suddenly freezes for 1-2 seconds.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+(Easy, find safe place and insert ^P2)
|
|
|
+* freeze-word
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Displaying the screen, it suddenly pauses for (?) and then says word (boo, "HELLO, are you there?" ), 2nd pause (longer), then erase and resume.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+(Easy, find insert place, insert "^P2^S4{WORD}^P4^S0^D04^P1")
|
|
|
+Where {WORD} and D04 vary for length.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* position-word
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When we see something like ANSI goto x,y "text", we do "^Gxxyy^P1^S3smeg^P3^S0^D04" right before their goto. Making sure that our word is less than the text they are going to display.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+BONUS if we can also see color codes before/after it, so we can also control the color. Or set blinking! That is horrible!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* clear-crazy
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When we see \x1b[2J (ClearScreen), go crazy! Before the ANSI command, write crazy words all over the place. Then pause. Self-cleaning!
|
