When I ran my BBS on Windows, one door game I was Tournament Trivia. I've since moved my BBS to Linux, and I haven't seen a Linux version of Tournament Trivia. I have some other trivia games installed now, but I'd be curious if there is a Linux port of Tournament Trivia?

The author of Tournament Trivia has released the source code (as well as a key generator with source) here:
https://github.com/evanelias/tournament-trivia

It uses OpenDoors (a Windows BBS door game toolkit) as well as Windows.h (a C/C++ header file with some Windows definitions), so it looks like it might not be trivial to port to Linux. I could have a look into it, but I'm curious if anyone has already tried porting this door game to Linux?

OpenDoors is cross-platform: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/tree/master/src/odoors

... so it should port to Linux fairly easily.

Ah, that's good to know. I thought I had seen something in the documentation saying it was for Win32, but maybe in a different copy of OpenDoors I saw somewhere.

There are a few examples of cross-platform OpenDoors projects in the src/doors directory of the Synchronet git repo. Give them a look-see.

I used to use Open Doors back in the day to write some of my shareware utils (Robo Tape and Freq Robot etc). We used to have a Open Doors news letter that Scott Burkett published along with Brian Pirie and Mark Williamson. I wonder if any of these folks are still living and active in the BBS scene?

Well my best guess is "probably not". But hey, I'm still here, so anything is possible.
