If I had time and energy to participate, one fun idea I have would be to make an Emacs Lisp game that's some kind of mystery sci-fi thriller based on coding: like, an Emacs environment that simulates the workstation of an engineer on a Mars base, with incoming emails from mission command, a fake Unix shell with space base commands, etc. Kind of like an "epistolary interactive fiction adventure" with a hacker angle.
- pseudonymcoward 9y agoMind if I steal this idea? I've been meaning to learn some elisp for a while and games revolving around fictional computer interfaces appeal to me.
- purple-again 9y agoMan this sounds awesome! Sadly it would be a ton of work to do right for a small audience that would appreciate it or you would have to bastardize the concept so much for the masses that it would end up little more than a ‘cockpit with tons of shiny buttons’ like you get in most flying games.
- aijony 9y agoI've had the same idea for a few weeks now. I'm surprised I'm not the only one.
- yayitswei 9y agoReminds me of Bussard (https://technomancy.itch.io/bussard https://technomancy.itch.io/bussard), a "space flight programming adventure game" written in Clojure.
