QTads 1.7 (Default branch)
ImageQTads is a graphical, non-HTML interpreter for Tads games. Both Tads 2 as well as Tads 3 games are supported. It uses Trolltech's Qt library, which means it's highly portable. It has some nice features, like fullscreen mode, text justification, margins, and font anti-aliasing. It fully supports Unicode in Tads 3, ISO Latin character mapping files in Tads 2, and the full set of Multimedia Tads character entities in both Tads 2 and 3 (like "curly" quotes and typographical dashes).License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Tads virtual machines were updated to 2.5.10/3.0.15.3; 64-bit platforms should now be fully supported. The number of turns the player can undo in Tads 3 games has been increased. Now you can undo more than 100 turns. QTads is now able to parse the meta-information resource embedded in a game. For this, a new menu entry has been added ("Game->Game Information"). The interpreter will now correctly restore the window coordinates and size of the previous session even when starting in fullscreen mode. Other fixes were made.Image

dm

DM(8)							    BSD System Manager's Manual 						     DM(8)

NAME

     dm -- dungeon master

SYNOPSIS

     ln -s dm game

DESCRIPTION

     dm is a program used to regulate game playing.  dm expects to be invoked with the name of a game that a user wishes to play.  This is done by
     creating symbolic links to dm, in the directory /usr/games for all of the regulated games.  The actual binaries for these games should be
     placed in a ``hidden'' directory, /usr/lib/games/dm, that may only be accessed by the dm program.	dm determines if the requested game is
     available and, if so, runs it.  The file /etc/dm.conf controls the conditions under which games may be run.

     The file /etc/nogames may be used to ``turn off'' game playing.  If the file exists, no game playing is allowed; the contents of the file
     will be displayed to any user requesting a game.

FILES

     /etc/dm.conf	   configuration file
     /etc/nogames	   turns off game playing
     /usr/lib/games/dm	   directory of ``real'' binaries
     /var/games/games.log  game logging file

SEE ALSO

     dm.conf(5)

HISTORY

     The dm command appeared in 4.3BSD-Tahoe.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

     Two issues result from dm running the games setgid ``games''.  First, all games that allow users to run UNIX commands should carefully set
     both the real and effective group ids immediately before executing those commands.  Probably more important is that dm never be setgid any-
     thing but ``games'' so that compromising a game will result only in the user's ability to play games at will.  Secondly, games which previ-
     ously had no reason to run setgid and which accessed user files may have to be modified.
