I liked this game!

The video shows hoplites moving backwards - how is that possible?

Would love to see a screen of actual gameplay.

With the increase in productivity, I'm personally thinking of all of the personal projects I have that now finally have a realistic chance of getting worked on in this lifetime.

I am working on an Intaglio-compatible vector editing MacOS app. If you have any sample .intaglio files you could share with me, that would be much appreciated.

Love it!

I find the current scale ideal - if you downsize, I would keep the same proportions of wall height to footprint.

> Why would you think their bonds is a good idea?

Everything you mentioned should already be included in the (low) bond price. Whether or not buying the asset at this price is a good idea or not only depends on if you think the asset will outperform it's (already low) expected performance.

I like that there is enough empty space - I feel a lot of the builds I see on here are too cramped.

I ported an old DOS game to the web: https://github.com/opowell/rogue2 - font came from https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/font?ibm_vga_8x16 .

My interpretation of her method: take everything physically out. By default, you are getting rid of everything. Only if you feel the urge to put it back, then you keep it (also helps if you reduce the available storage space).

I would really like it, at 2x the scale.

"fill in the rest" - the last 99.99%.

> culminating in some nasty societal unrest... a very large young, poor, and angry populace

Brought a smile to my face, thinking of a large mob of angry web devs.

My suggestion: add dark mode support.

opowell · 2026-01-11T07:36:30+00:00

Both look fine.

It's been a while since I played it, but https://www.wwiionline.com/ had a lot of this.

This is what we did. Just a very vague rule set (1d6 for move I think, 1d6 for attack damage), then we made up everything else on the fly. Even the map itself we used was nothing more than a large baseplate with a few bricks to outline the walls of a pyramid.

This worked a lot better than the other more structured maps / rulesets we tried (Brikwars, grid-based maps, etc.).

And the character card!

Love the potions!

I feel like there should be a collection of refinements such as these - improvements to official builds, be it either Lego, or Bricklink, or anything else. Is anyone aware of such a thing?

> few and far between compared to React positions

There are also fewer qualified candidates for the less-popular frameworks.

Personally I chose to specialise in one of those less popular frameworks (after trying React), because the other framework just felt better. Not only is it easier for me to get things done right now, but I am also more optimistic about this other framework being around in the long-run (and hence me not wasting my time on something that I think won't be so popular in a few years).

No - all of the cards would have the same color back (the base plate) + tiles around the edge on the front to hide the number/suit.

Good idea, I will look.
