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 using a Telnet client to connect 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!

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!
