Hello all you lovely Mystic MPL coders. I'm here to make an offer.

I have about 20+ Mystic MPL games in various stages of completion and I'd like to see them all finished. I am ready to admit that I'm not inclined to work on them any longer, and I don't want to see them die the death of never having been released. I'm really quite proud of them and I'd love to see them completed and an enjoyed.

So, I'm making a call to all you qualified MPL coders who might be inclined to finish them up. My hope is that I can transfer the projects to one or more QUALIFIED coder who might be inclined to take each of these to completion. The issues are varied for each project. Some just need a player leaderboard score system, others might have some missing features or some tenacious bugs that need squashing.

The projects I have so far are some RPG games, card games, simulations, roguelike and some board games.

RPG games
A LORD clone
A Planets: The Exploration v1 clone
Leech
Murder Mansion
Space Trader
AberMUD clone

RogueLike:
Doctor Who: Roguelike
SinBAUD
Robots

Simulations:
Virtual Sysop ]I[
DopeWars

Card Games:

Pyramid Solitaire
Spider Solitaire
Belegard Castle

Parlor Games:
Othello
Reversi
Guess the Tagline - a Wheel of Fortune clone
Bejeweled
Sudoku
rType
Follox - a Tetris clone

Each of these games are up and playable on my BBS. You can try them out and see what you think. If you find one that you'd be interested in working on, just drop me a note. I'd like to give these out to coders that have experience with writing MPL programs or at the very least, some door game or other. So when you drop me a note, please let me know what projects you've done.

You can check them all out at Madman with a Blue Box BBS at madmanbbs.ddns.net.

hello gryphon,

put them on github so people can work on them. if you like their changes you can accept them, if not, you can tell them why.

it would help other budding mpl coders to see your code,

if anyone else who wants to help is like me, they probably only want to tweak one thing here and there, until its at a state where they feel confortable investing a day or week or more into it.

multiple people can work on one project.

That's really cool to keep the games alive, thank you1
