I have reworked RetroBBS's Weather plugin, it now uses open-meteo.com API, displays.
It now have an optional second screen displaying the temperature curve for the next 7 days.
Additionally, if the terminal supports drawing commands, the curve will be drawn on the terminal side instead of prerendered on the BBS.

Video shows the new features on an emulated Plus/4

And here the same on the MSX port.

Other primitives already implemented are: PLOT, BOX and CIRCLE.

Working on adding drawing primitives to the Turbo56K command set.
Currently only for the Commodore Plus/4 and MSX ports of Retroterm.
Here's a little demo of the line command in action with a recreation of a classic 3D routine from the 1980's

Added a new plugin to RetroBBS, which let the user browse CSDb's latest releases, or do a search for a specific one.
The screenshot will be displayed, and the related files can be downloaded to disk or memory

WIP new file browser for RetroBBS (github.com/retrocomputacion/re), shows file extension and size, supports sub-directories. Replaces/supplements the original two-column FileList() function, which is unsuitable for screens larger than 80x25

RetroBBS has now initial support for Compuserve's VidTex escape codes.
That's in addition to the existing native Turbo56K mode, and CG color Commodore 64 terminals. Including support for custom screen color on both Novaterm and CCGMS.
The video shows accessing the BBS using VIPTerminal XL.

Great project of Jorge Castillo and Pablo Roldan #RETROTERM and #RETROBBS. I am not an #COMMODORE #C64 user but I emulated with #VICE to build my own #SOTANOMSXBBS ver. XD
