Description

The good BlowTorch client is back! Now more stable, with more functions.

This app connects you to a MUD: a multiplayer text game over telnet. Add a host and port, connect, and you are in.

The Mud Connector

Menus, settings, and Help are in English. Daily play needs little of the toolkit; when you want more, open Help in the app or the user guide on GitHub.

Everyday play (some options might need to be turned on):
• On-screen buttons that send commands
• Suggestions from the text on the screen
• Stay connected with the screen off; the notification shows how long you have been on
• Growable input bar, search in scrollback, two-finger copy
• ANSI colours, optional session log, in-app Help

When you want more:
• Eight-way swipe, hold, and accordion (MORE) on a button; swap a set with a loadset
• Telnet plus GMCP, MCP, MXP, MSDP, MSSP, MCCP, MTTS; ANSI, 256-colour, truecolour, OSC 8 links
• Triggers, aliases, timers, and Lua plugins
• Extra text windows, a chat drawer, tappable words
• HP bars, rings, and countdowns
• Mapper (experimental), speedwalks, per-world settings
• A trigger or timer can read a line aloud

No ads, no analytics, no BlowTorch cloud account. Connects only to hosts you add. The F-Droid build does not contact GitHub on start. Lua plugins run with the app's privileges, so only load ones you trust. "All files access" is optional — settings, backups, and logs can live in /BlowTorch/. You can refuse it and still play; import and export use the system file picker. Details

Original BlowTorch: Daniel Block / Offset Null Entertainment (MIT). Unofficial fork and continuation. Back up your settings before upgrading.

Source, issues, and suggestions

What’s new (2.4.8)

BlowTorch 2 v2.4.8
A button can show a custom icon instead of a colored pad, and its label can use a different font. One Opacity fades the pad, the icon, and the label together. One button can keep text off it, or let text draw under it.
Text no longer slides under a button. A gag on several lines no longer prints an error. A fast flick no longer opens copy.
