Heh, ok did not expect to see my old project sitting on the front page <3 The server is getting gently hugged to death atm but I'll try to keep it responding. Some added info... - The entire thing is open source: https://github.com/Abstrct/Schemaverse/ https://github.com/Abstrct/Schemaverse/ - This was discussed on hacker news 10(!) years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3969108 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3969108 - Some players have written more code to play the game than I wrote to build it - We have a tournament every year at DEF CON - Postgres is awesome

Great idea and fyi the how to play link in the game points to a wrong url in your github wiki.

Heads up, you're still pointing to Freenode for the IRC channel. Possibly you'd want to change that to point at Libera.Chat. The channel already exists at the latter.

Thanks for creating this it helped me improve my Postgresql and SQL 8 years ago.

  That's awesome! I'm glad to hear it helped. I was personally so sick of every database course I took using the same `department` and `employee` tables, I wanted something fun instead.

> - We have a tournament every year at DEF CON The same guy pretty much wins every year with minor modifications to his code (okay, except the last two years with the whole covid thing). That said, he's an extremely cool guy and very eager to train his potential competition. Please please please take him up on the offer. I suggest to anyone to show up to the Defcon Is Cancelled party that he co-organizes.

  Yeah, he's pretty unstoppable lately but there have been a couple new players starting to improve a lot too. I'll happily share his secret. He recognized that it's not about any single metric, it's all about optimizing for the trophies https://github.com/Abstrct/Schemaverse/tree/master/trophies https://github.com/Abstrct/Schemaverse/tree/master/trophies
