Hah, okay. That's pretty cool. If people are going to be writing farming bots anyway, one might as well make it the formal objective.

So this is... what I do for work, just now in my leisure time?

Firefox does not fully support the editor. Please use a chromimum-based web browser such as Chrome, Brave or Edge.

Taken from introduction

Then I joined their discord to see if people say it is fine playing on Firefox and found the developer saying the following:

I don't understand people who use firefox

I think I will pass this one

Sounds like Screeps or Hackmud! But I think the heavier RPG focus might make it easier to get into. I keep falling flat on games like these, especially with the idea of a few veterans who are automation or async wizards. Definitely gonna look into it more.

… but i have to work in the morning

Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.

I don't work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!

Wow! I’ve been thinking about making something like this and I’ve even poked at a few “hacker/terminal/code” themed games. However, every time I get serious about giving this type of game my time, I think to myself, “I could just be programming and hacking something more useful than this, and I could just look at that experience as ‘the game’ rather than programming and hacking on something less valuable (the game, in this case).”

This train of thought has me working on an FPS built on Bevy. I’m hacking, learning, and convincing myself that this is the hacker game experience I wanted. Heck—I might even come out of this with something tangible that could generate money one day. At the very least, I’ve up-skilled my programming knowledge. 🤷‍♂️

That probably sounds uber boring and having said all this, I think I’ll still have to give this game a go!

That sounds really awesome. Can you be bullied by stronger players, or you can just do your thing and interact if you wanna? Not into competing/fighting other players personally.

I don't need to play it...

I don't need to play it...

I NEED TO PLAY IT

Well, the API angle is similar to Space Traders

neat. i want to write more nushell scripts that do api stuff, might have to give this a try.

...oh no, why do you do this to me?

Hmm, website is down.

Edit: it’s back up

I go off on tangents all the time, but they typically present themselves like distracting little wind chimes. This one is more like a clanging gong struck with a giant mallet by a sultan's harem guard. Other half-finished projects are cryng "Wait! Nooooo!"

Wow that is super cool. I'm going to play it!

This sounds like exactly what I need to go pro with my APIs as I deal with it at my job a lot but there's usually a frustration to these types of games that just makes me uninstall it. Hoping this is different for me as I really do want to improve myself.

Just give ollama the docs and let it play itsself.
