Tintin
From Phospher
I've re-packaged TinTin++ for Linux and Windows with a specific macro configuration for use with Crossroads of the Elements on Phospher BBS. I also moved all executables into bin/ and created a macro config file under etc/.
I've also created a simple program for automatic installations. This program downloads the latest version of TinTin++ from Phospher, extracts it to /opt/tintin++ and creates a launcher script under /usr/bin/.

Installation For Linux (automatic and recommended)
- Note: This installer will only work on 32bit Linux OS'. I can compile against x86_64 if requested.
- Note: Become root first or prefix commands with sudo.
wget http://webscripts.phospher.com/files/Phospher_BBS/tintin/linux_tt_installer chmod +x linux_tt_installer ./linux_tt_installer
Then simply execute tt.
Installation For Linux (manual)
wget http://webscripts.phospher.com/files/Phospher_BBS/tintin/tintin++.tar.gz tar xvfz tintin++.tar.gz mv tintin++ /opt/.
Then execute tt.
Installation for Windows
Download WinTin++ from here.
- Unzip WinTin++ to desired directory, i.e., c:\wintin++
- Double click on the WinTin++.lnk shortcut
Macros
I've created a macro file under etc/ (etc/phospher.config).
Every alt-<letter> keystroke will execute a hit-<letter> sequence.
Example: alt-s = hit s
Additionally, I've also added the following:
F1 = Connect to Phospher BBS (bbs.phospher.com)
ctrl-q = hits
up arrow = north
down arrow = south
right arrow = east
left arrow = west
You can easily "search & replace" the hit command with cast <spell> for the wizards and mages. (in the etc/phospher.config file)
TinTin Usage
There a multitude of commands within TinTin. All TinTin commands are prefixed with a # symbol. I've found that I've only really needed to the #end command. The #end command will exit TinTin.
For more information on TinTin, visit tintin.sourceforge.net.
Once you've launched TinTin, hit F1. This will connect you to Phospher BBS.
