TelDuel [Source Code]
A downloadable source
TelDuel is a partially vibe coded Java-based dueling game that runs over Telnet connections. The source code is provided on this page as a free learning resource. You can also play TelDuel over the Internet by connecting to my dev server at: 73.198.76.230 on port 1337 (and you can play my main project The Bardo on port 1338 if you've gone that far!)
The code is still unfinished so there is no single player mode or bot to play against. It is unlikely anyone will be lurking on my server so you'll need to play against yourself or bring a friend until or if such a feature is ever completed. The scaffolding for it is in the source code if you want to add it yourself!
Security Disclaimer: Telnet is an unencrypted plaintext data transmission protocol that broadcasts data (messages) across the Internet in completely plain text. This means you should not post any sensitive information into any Telnet connections, and in the case that you may need to create a username or password (such as to play The Bardo) it is strongly advised that you never use any sort of shared credentials (i.e. dont use your gmail password or ATM pin code over Telnet, and assume your worst enemy is reading all the messages you send. They aren't, but they could be!)

Install instructions
To run the game locally, import the .java source file above into a Java IDE such as IntelliJ or Eclipse, figure out how to create a project so that the package import at the top doesn't throw any errors. Basically become a programmer if you're not already (ask an LLM for help), and then hit run! If you're having problems, leave a comment and I'll try to help!
