a friend of mine (jeffl35 from irc.freenode.net) is hosting a noVNC server that gives access to a running instance of Dwarf Fortress
link: http://dwarf-fortress-jeffl35.c9users.io/vnc.html?host=dwarf-fortress-jeffl35.c9users.io&port=80
password: tptisawesome
token: None. like seriously there is no token.
You can use your keyboard to control the game as well.

Cloud9 is inconsistent, annoyingly - asking on irc might help maybe, dunno.

It's interestingly challenging when up tho.

All of this time and effort put into a DF multiplayer mode. Is that what this is? The link is down.

I wish Tarn would just accept contributions, he's getting ~US$8k a month. I'd feel better if some of that were put towards hiring decent coders, and the progress were more. But, just an opinion I guess. I would guess a pretty unpopular one too.

It is basically webserver parsing keys relayed to the webpage through the keyboard and passing them onto DF while displaying the picture of the application.

Multiple simultaneous users...can result in control fights :v

Still, neat. Has all the problems of succession forts up to 11 though with the bite-sized turns at it, but bite-sized turns are good at encouraging to just play and do it.

Tarn has many reasons for not releasing his code, let alone admitting contributions. Of course, there is a point to be made for doing so, but in the end, it's his game. Just be glad that he accepts suggestions; he could be worse. Like Steve of Aurora 4X who doesn't even improve UI to the point that A4X can be played on one screen. Why would he? He has three screens.
