Unfortunately, although conquer v5 is playable, I believe it lacked the random events. Adam Bryant is still having the itch to finish that part :D Hopefully we can convince him when he see the renewal of interest.

Hello! Just found this, I am the author of the article, and the one who relicensed the code.

I am preparing the next step. A new project: conquer-web, to have a way of connecting to the running conquer process (with ncurses) through the web, in addition to being able to connect as before, just by having a session on the machine (ssh).

As I see there is interest. I will speed up that process. I already have it online, but I haven´t published it yet, because I want to introduce a better authentication system to prevent DOS or brute force attacks.

Current code for that is in: https://github.com/vejeta/conquer-web

Contributions welcome.

Hehe, that was a post adition, when I realized I had to give more context, but it as cool for hexadecimal friendly audiences.
