Exactly this. Not everyone can be in upper echelons. I'm pretty bad at any competitive game I've tried, even one I've created myself 5 minutes ago (I've lost to a colleague on a tiktactoe game on a graph I've invent

It became a competitive game and you are not willing to be in the top tier of players. It is a holy grail for game companies: "How to mix having uncompetitive fun in a game while allowing competition".

Reservoir computing still needs to provide input. How do you input into weather? And if you find that you indeed can provide inputs to weather, you should ask if you should provide inputs into weather. Using weather as a computer might si

If restaurant prices were 100% worker pay, that would be true. But when you increase pay by 50%, your prices do not necessarily increase by 50% which also does not mean you will have 50% less customers. Currently owners of businesses minimi

Yeah, I've started with idea where you controlled one ship at a time too, but I think multiship gives more possibilities for gameplay. In my game, most of the time you would be controlling your ships on a map as small markers anyway (n

No, that's a great idea! Sidesteps many issues, like having a good specs required for typical server (fairly recent graphics card for physics simulation and lots of storage).

I had idea for such game, but it was meant to be realized as a 2d space sim. If you want your ship fleet to survive during logoff, you need to hide it somewhere in deep space between star systems (via series of semi-random jumps so no one t

Flies are uncrashable only because they are small enough to survive most impacts. I've also seen uncrashable drone toys, you can throw them on ground, pickup and they will fly again. I've also seen flies hitting into things.
