Thanks for posting the list. I call these programming games for lack of a better name, some of them go way back (e.g.: Core War) [1]. I remember playing Robowar [2] on toaster macs way back when.

I enjoyed playing corewar so much I wanted to reimplement it on Linux. I ended up never finishing it because I found myself inventing Google Wave (in 1997, in DOS). But it was a fun project.

    It was never released. I wrote the consensus protocol only to discover the challenges of TCP/IP in DOS.
