Zero player game sounds interesting. Is this some kind of simulation?

  it's an isometric civ game with a bunch of little game-AI agents who go about their days. It's like an aquarium or an ant farm, but with little AI people.

    That looks very interesting. I suppose they keep running even when there is no visitor looking, so you come back the next day and they did all sort of things. Are you planning to keep it for yourself or will we see a Show HN someday?

      I'll probably share it if it gets anywhere - it's still early days for the project, but it'll be open source on https://github.com/ajeffrey/civarium https://github.com/ajeffrey/civarium

        Could you maybe share a screenshot?

          it's very early days yet, but here's a build from a few days ago: http://imgur.com/a/iUyj9 http://imgur.com/a/iUyj9 the sprites can walk around by themselves and the tiles can be generated - I'm currently working on the AI for the sprites and assembling the tiles procedurally so I can start adding GOAP and construction planning.

        This sounds very interesting and fun. Would be cool for a raspberry pi picture frame type of thing

          it would actually :)
