Templates of Doom – A spreadsheet text adventure game (1985)
- er4hn 4y agoI wonder if you could make an MMO with Google Sheets today?
- anotheraccount9 4y agoI bet you could, depending how you pull/push the data. But were you thinking having the whole MMO in Google Sheets?
- er4hn 4y agoTotally. You have a base sheet that specifies how everything works, write access limited to developers. Every new players starts by cloning a template that links to the base sheet. It'll have the number crunching of EVE Online with the aesthetics of Dwarf Fortress!
- throwanem 4y agoGiven the absurd amount of optimization that goes into high-level play, a better question might be if you could make one without it.
- ransom1538 4y agoIve worked on facebook games that used Google Sheets as a config file. It's a silly idea, but really works.
- thanatos519 4y agoI remember my dad playing this game! He was a master of spreadsheets and 4GL databases!
- richardfey 4y agoI wonder if a copy of the full game can still be found?
- kevinmchugh 4y agoThis appears to be the website of the author: http://edugames.com/edugamesWebSite/home.htm http://edugames.com/edugamesWebSite/home.htm There's an email there you might reach out to, to see if you can get the full version
- mbg721 4y agoSomebody much more skilled and ambitious than I am once made a working spreadsheet version of the board game Puerto Rico, complete with AI opponents. I think it's still floating around, but it uses macros, so you get all the warnings associated with that.
