If
I
felt
like
game
jamming
for
a
month,
I
would
probably
make
a
FOSS
Card
Battle
MUD
that
makes
fun
of
conspiracy
theories
(
Including
confirmed
ones
like
the
[url=https://en.
wikipedia.
org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident]Gulf
of
Tonkin
incident[/url]
but
mostly
the
woo
You
Tube
channel
[url=https://www.
youtube.
com/user/thespiritscience]Spirit
Science[/url]
)
that
runs
over
SSH
and
has
midi
music
that
gets
pushed
over
ssh
into
a
timidity++
server
running
on
a
client.

Sadly for you who want the game, I more of a less code the better kind of guy so I am not able to get off on dumping a bunch of code I will hate before I compile it. Right now I just want to get my Wine LXC to work with my back ported graphics stack so I can at least start up all of the games I got for cheap off Humble Bundle and Itch.io. I won't have peace of mind until I can do that.
