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?
