<p>I keep working on my command line game 'Rebels in the sky' (<a href="https://rebels.frittura.org" rel="nofollow">https://rebels.frittura.org</a>)<p>The game is about spacepirates playing basketball, it's kinda a basketball manager game. It's played in your terminal and works with no internet.<p>You can try it via ssh at `ssh frittura.org -p 3788`</p>

<p>I love working on the terminal and this looks great, but can I ask why do you require to sign in? To be that's a bit of a downer :(</p>

<p>I am working for a while on a command line game about spacepirates playing basketball across the galaxy. The game is a basketball managerial game with some pirate-y stuff. It's a P2P game with no central server, built on top of libp2p.<p>It runs as a terminal application, meaning that you just need to run it from your terminal, but you can try the game over ssh without installing: `ssh frittura.org -p 3788`<p>downloads: <a href="https://rebels.frittura.org/" rel="nofollow">https://rebels.frittura.org/</a>

<p>My family is from Sicily, and I remember taking this train every year when I was a kid. After several years, I took it again last summer and was bufflled at how inefficient the whole ordeal was... Basically you have to wait for the train wagons to be detached and reassembled on the other side, you easily waste a couple hours.<p>Now, I don't really mind this, it's a bit of a tradition if you want, but I asked a relative of mine who used to work for the Italian national train company, and he told me that this train works like this cause in the past all the Sicilian migrants would travel with a lot of luggage, and it would be very impractical for them to transfer all of that twice. Nowadays this is not really the case anymore.</p>

<p>The physics paper has been published on a predatory 'open-access' journal, where basically you can pay to publish whatever (ref: <a href="https://blog.cabells.com/2021/07/07/no-signs-of-slowing/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.cabells.com/2021/07/07/no-signs-of-slowing/</a>, look for scirp).<p>I gave a diagonal reading, it uses the right jargon somehow. They add some new components to the Einstein-Hilbert action they say originate from quantum complexity contributions, to be honest seems completely random, but i'm not an expert. Especially the conclusions look like they have been written with AI.<p>The 10 citations are almost all self-citing: <a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=2388097775195172652&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=2388097775195172652...</a></p>

<p>I agree with that comment. Experts can be wrong, of course, but the null hypothesis is that their opinion is 'more correct' than that of a science journalist.<p>As an aside, nobody really believed the earth was flat: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_flat_Earth" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_flat_Earth</a>.</p>

<p>True, I can see your public key, username, and IP I guess. I only log the username and hash of the public key/password that I use for storing save files (the logs are for debugging, but I swear I don't sell them to google). You can see what I do in the source, of course you have to trust me on that :)</p>

<p>My server can't handle all the traffic, guess it's an opportunity to show that the game doesn't need a central authority to keep working.<p>I created another relayer and ssh node on 85.214.130.204, you can either ssh to this machine `ssh 85.214.130.204 -p 3788` (but the relaying won't work as it tries to connect to the old server), or start your local client with the flag `rebels -i 85.214.130.204` to specify the alternative relayer node ip address.</p>

<p>Thanks! I agree, I really need to write a wiki or something. The problem is that this game started as a basketball managerial game and then got completely derailed as I kept implementing whatever I thought was cool at the moment.<p>I think there are mainly 3 themes to play for:<p>- Basketball: assemble the best possible team. Basically try to acquire as much money as possible to hire the best free agents;<p>- Money: just try to get as rich as possible, using the market and in the future your asteroids;<p>- Space adventure: get the best possible spaceship (more options will be available in future releases) and have fun in the spaceshooter game you can access from your team pane (button 'Space adventure').<p>I tried to combine and summarize these 3 themes by having a reputation score assigned to your team, which can increase based on all 3 conditions. In the Swarm pane there is a Top Ranking window where the best crews are listed.</p>
