HN comment orderHeh, ok did not expect to see my old project sitting on the front page <3 The server is getting gently hugged to death atm but I'll try to keep it responding. Some added info... - The entire thing is open source: https://github.com/Abstrct/Schemaverse/ - This was discussed on hacker news 10(!) years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3969108 - Some players have written more code to play the game than I wrote to build it - We have a tournament every year at DEF…
I wish I could read the entire tutorial without registering. I shouldn't have to register before I know if I want to play the game.
Thanks for the post! For new players it's best to start in the tutorial: https://schemaverse.com/tutorial/tutorial.php
