🧀🧀🧀 The Cheddar Board BBS & IRC Dojo 🧀🧀🧀
Welcome to the Cheddar Board BBS & IRC Dojo—a retro-futurist, ethical, and cheese-aged digital playground for multimodal music mavericks, AI knights, and bot wizards. This project fuses IRC chat, BBS doors, Gopher browsing, RSS feeds, and MIDI thunder into a lightweight, extensible platform for creative coding, AI experimentation, and legendary quests.
- Run an IRC server on your Pi or server for fast, public chat.
- Integrate bots for games, trivia, and AI remixes.
- Retro games: Hangman, Tic-Tac-Toe, Rock-Paper-Scissors-Cheese.
- Files:
README.md(this file), setup guides.
- End-to-end encrypted for sensitive discussions, keys, and team ops.
- Bridge to IRC for cross-posting (with care).
- Integration: Conduit or Synapse on Pi, Element client.
- L.O.R.D. adventure game with AI dragon duels.
- Ternary ALU logic, QEC depolarizing noise, MIDI thunder.
- ASCII wyrms, login banners, MOTD with cheese flair.
- Files:
MOTD,doors/lord/red_wyrm.txt,doors/lord/wyrm_alu.py,qec_wyrm_duel.py,wyrm_alu_hook.py.
- Serve static files, logs, and menus for CLI/GUI clients.
- Link to BBS doors, RSS feeds, and AI digests.
- Ethical, no paywalls—pure, open byte flow.
- Files: Gopher menus,
motd.asc.
- Generate feeds for duel logs, announcements, AI slurps.
- Bots consume external feeds (xAI, NASA) and remix with ternary flavor.
- Subscribe for real-time updates on quests and lore.
- Files:
rss_duel_digest.py,slurp_ai.py, BBS_SETUP.md.
- Python bots with Ollama for summaries, MIDI for sound effects.
- Log clashes for RL/LLM aging—train bots ethically.
- Files: All
.pyscripts inbots/or root.

- Run scripts to generate feeds:

pip install mido feedparser qutip ollama
# Run duels: python wyrm_alu_hook.py
# MIDI thunder plays on clash!- TRUE ✅ (Cheddar Solid): Reliable, classic, melts well—solid features like ALU additions.
- FALSE ❌ (Swiss Holes): Needs patching, full of holes—bugs or unfinished doors.
- POSSIBLE ❓ (Blue Funky): Unpredictable, worth tasting—QEC noise flips or AI remixes.
- Lightweight: Pi-friendly, no bloat.
- Open: Gopher/RSS, no walled gardens.
- Purposeful: Train bots, log for learning, dignified for all users.
- Dignified: Private vaults, no harmful hoards.
Blend past flavors: Fuse BBS doors with IRC bots, age logs with Ollama, serve MIDI thunder in Gopher menus.
- Python 3.6+ (for scripts)
- Mido, Feedparser, Qutip, Ollama (pip install)
- Pi or Linux server
- Telnet/IRC clients, Gopher browsers
