fibscli

An eventual FIBS client written in Flutter and hosted on the web.

Currently, the app works as a stand-alone backgammon game w/o connecting to fibs.net.

It works on desktop and mobile form factors.

The goal is to host it on the web and make it work against the FIBS server on fibs.com. I've got a lot of the networking/websocket proxy code already written in my fibscli_lib repo.

FIBS development

fibscli uses websocat to proxy from websockets to telnet.

If running JIBS locally, then configure websocat like this:

$ websocat --binary ws-l:127.0.0.1:8080 tcp:127.0.0.1:4321 --exit-on-eof -v

If running against fibs.com, then configure webtelnet like this:

$ websocat --binary ws-l:127.0.0.1:8080 tcp:fibs.com:4321 --exit-on-eof -v

Now running fibscli will use a websocket on port 8080 of the localhost to connect to either JIBS or FIBS as appropriate.
