Comment on Show HN: XR2000: A science fiction programming challenge

OK, so the tcp connection to clearsky.dev port 29438 succeeded, but right now nothing happens after you connect. Is this part of the puzzle?

Looks like HN is breaking my server a bit… it should print a helpful text when you connect

I want to play!

But..

localhost:~# echo -e "\x00XR2K" | nc clearsky.dev 29438 AXR2KPxr2000.leo.spacenet:send a single 0 byte followed by 'XR2K' for documentation

printf has the same problem. Is it me?

That should work fine! I had some db issues on my end. Should work now!

It's working.

It eventually printed

send a single 0 byte followed by 'XR2K' for documentation.

But so far doing that hasn't led to anything :)

That's instructions. Basically, try again, but send a zero byte character with netcat.

Same here... :-/

Let me start you off! echo -e "\x00XR2K" | nc clearsky.dev 29438
