First packaged release of Yankee Trader: Resurrection, a standalone Go BBS door.

Original game by Alan Davenport. Based on Yankee Trader Version 3.6.

Downloads

Host Package
Linux x86-64 yankeetrader-0.1.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Linux ARM64 yankeetrader-0.1.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz
Windows x86-64 yankeetrader-0.1.0-windows-amd64.zip

Each package includes the standalone executable, sysop cheat sheet, full save/restore guide, credits, dependency notices and build provenance. Display assets are embedded; no Go compiler, DOSBox or original DOS distribution is required. SHA256SUMS.txt covers the three archives; the separately attached cheat sheet has its own .sha256 file.

Sysop quick start

Read SYSOP_CHEAT_SHEET.md for platform-specific commands and stable installation paths. Keep persistent data outside the versioned package directory.

  • Initialize once with -data <directory> -init -seed 36. Add -dos-warps -dos-ports for recovered map/economy rules with modern safeguards. Existing worlds are never overwritten by initialization.
  • Test locally with -data <directory> -local Sysop. Configure the BBS Door32 launch with its per-node -drop directory, one shared data directory and a stable -system namespace.
  • Schedule -data <directory> -maint daily after UTC midnight; login also advances maintenance and same-day repeats do not repeat daily phases.
  • Use -season-export <new-private-file> for a validated private snapshot. Follow the bundled SYSOP.md for stopped-node backups, restoration, upgrades and guarded administrative resets.

Features and compatibility

Persistent trading, planets, teams, radio/newspaper, navigation, combat, bounded NPC behavior, Genesis and administrative season exports/resets are included. DOS-style map/economy generation is opt-in; exact QB initializer replay remains research tooling.

Save schema 34. Preserve the data directory, matching binary and BBS identity settings before upgrading; older binaries cannot read schema 34. Modern saves are not interchangeable with original DOS .DAT files.

Built from ae65b0a9537ffe346448e8586a13192b8cd0895f with the CI-pinned GoDoors revision. Release validation runs race-enabled Go tests, vet, archive/architecture/checksum checks and packaged Linux amd64 initialization, maintenance, export and guarded-reset checks. Windows/ARM64 are cross-built and format-checked; verify the native BBS transport on your host before opening to callers.

This release is intentionally left as a draft for review.
