I've been playing an MMO that you can only play via rest API calls: Artifacts

Hello there fellow space traders
You ever got anything so good you could publish?
-
The gist is you write macros/automations/scripts to play the MMO based on your logic.
I decided to do it in bash/curl/jq to make it extra fun and learn some tools I use occasionally but only heavy man page referencing. After some playing I might be a bash-script pro.

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!
I’m the same way. Any game with a level editor or something where I have to build something feels like a waste of time. I’m spending time building someone else’s game instead of my own… so I just start working on my own thing instead.

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

Sadly no lol. But I like the idea of the game to teach junior developer programming skills.

Peak MMO
Flashbacks to hours writing macros, mods, and scripts so that you could spend less time doing the things you paid a company to let you do for "fun"

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!"

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

Thanks for pointing that out! The game may have been a good idea, but I don't want to support that.

Just give ollama the docs and let it play itsself.
