Hah! So we can add the author of Empire to the list of uncounted thousands (Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?) of curious minds instructed and inspired by Ahl's work.
- WalterBright 5y agoYes you can :-) I spent a lot of time extending the Hammurabi program. My version of it is lost to history like a lot of my early stuff. I also wrote a lunar lander game, and an orbit game. Empire was first written in Basic.

- amitp 5y agoSame here — Hammurabi and King were what got me started writing games. I learned so much from experimenting with that core loop, and it got met interested in math, economics, and lots of other subjects. Fur Trader, Civil War, and Combat also.
