How hard can it be to program a Civ clone/lookalike? Is it a good project to learn functional programming, for example? Would it take days, months, years?
I'm thinking I could kill several birds with one shot - learn something new, make something fun, and maybe contribute something to my country's OLPC project which is a bit short on games - it could even teach some history :) .

- garyrichardson 17y agoFreeCiv is a client server app with an AI already. You could build a OLPC freeciv client. If you really want to get fancy, port the server to OLPC.

- GFischer 17y agoOk, thanks. I guess it's not the project I'm looking for :) (no, I don't know what I'm doing with game development, so it'd be years for me then)
