    I've done some more work to my Weather Door and it now does hi-res radar and infrared images leveraging SyncTerm's SIXEL graphics support. Please check it out at firesidebbs.com:23231 (telnet). Feedback would be appreciate folks.

    Greetings folks,

    I've released version 2.1 of the AI-WX Weather Door and it's available on my BBS at firesidebbs.com:23231 or on the website at firesidebbs.com. This version has support for a new tile mapping API (rainbow.ai) that enables highly accurate weather radar using industry standard tile mapping.

    NOTE: The previous radar API (rainviewer) has been sunsetted and is no longer functional. You will need to visit the new API's website and obtain a free API key at https://developer.rainbow.ai/signup. After obtaining your free API key, you can either edit your lwsdoor.ini file and add your API key and switch the line that reads RadarTileAPI=V to read RadarTileAPI=R or you can download version 2.1, that only supports the new radar API from my BBS at firesidebbs.com:23231 or the website at firesidebbs.com.

    Also, I'm about to release a new free door game called Shut The Box, I'll post more later.

    Thanks everyone,
    Lonewolf
