Just how many turns there are per day are completely up to the person hosting the game. You may wish to have only one game turn per day. If you are a sysop you may wish to just put in a little batch file that is run every day at clean up time that has your machine copy all the PLAYER TRN files into the proper directory, perform a game turn ( run HOST ) and copy the PLAYER RST files into a directory from which the players can then download their file.
If the host crashes while running it will log the error to the error log file and exit to dos.
When you have 350K or more of free memory you can run HOST 3.20 from a DOS shell.
The game administrator has the option when first starting the game to give each race their own password, so that even if a player downloads another player's RST file that player will be unable to open it without the real player's password.
Players can change their password during their turn, but the change does not take effect until the next turn. Players can also turn off the password check by changing the password to "NOPASSWORD".
I strongly advise the sysop set up the BBS so that the TRN files can only be uploaded by the proper players, unless you feel that you can trust your players.
For example:
I am player 2 ( The Lizard Player ). The file that I upload to the BBS host computer is "PLAYER2.TRN". The file that I download from the BBS host is "PLAYER2.RST". Nobody else should be able to upload a file named "PLAYER2.TRN" and mess up my turn.
There are not several very good door programs that makes setting up BBS games very easy.
Many sysops compress the PLAYER RST files using PKZIP, ARJ or LHA to make RST download times faster.
