GILES: the Great Internet Ludic Experience Server

Giles is a telnet gaming experience, meant to provide a platform for playing various games both old and new with nothing more complicated than a decent telnet client.

Chances are pretty good that:

telnet bombadil.thenexusproject.org 9435

will connect you to the current testing instance of Giles (unless it's down). You should also feel free to crank it up on your own.

Some screenshots:

Giles is written in Python and makes use of Miniboa, a pure-Python telnet server implementation, and Bitstring, a pure-Python bitstring implementation.

Giles is released under the Affero GPL, version 3.

Miniboa is released under the Apache License, version 2.0.

Bitstring is released under the MIT license.
