Acwruecmp.37 net.unix-wizards utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!cwruecmp!ordy Sat Mar 6 17:40:18 1982 game control Each semester (being a university) we have our problems with over playing of games. Usually the solution is several messages of the day, and some individual mail. This semester, however, I wrote a small C program that 'guards' the games, only allowing access when conditions are 'right'. For us, whenever less than 5 users are on the system, we allow games. In any case, the definition of 'right' is easily changed. With this program, it is possible to selectively allow all game playing, no game playing, or 'guarded' game playing. The program also logs all games played, allowing the principle offenders to be easily identified. This program was written under 4.1 BSD, however moving to straight V7 (or even V6) should not be difficult. I will post the source, as well as a little bit of documentation on net.sources.
