<p>In 2014, Scoragora was a free, ad-free prediction game for the Brazil World Cup. I found the old HN post and revived the idea out of nostalgia.<p>Scoragora is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.<p>It includes a free 2026 World Cup calendar you can add to Google Calendar / Apple Calendar, with local kickoff times and updates as teams and results are confirmed.<p>If you want to play, you can also create private prediction leagues with friends, family, or coworkers: predict scores, group qualifiers, semifinalists, finalists, and champion. Scoring and rankings are automatic.<p>No betting, no ads, no affiliation with FIFA. Just a nostalgic football pool for fun.<p>Original Scoragora:

<a href="https://x.com/scoragora" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/scoragora</a><p>I loved the original game, and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar wasn’t as fun for me because Scoragora wasn’t around.<p>All feedback is welcome:

<p>Basically the problem here is that the author didn't care even a little to understand why accounting is done with a double entry system.<p>Basically what he was trying to do here was a expense and income administrator with tags. That it's just a part of what bookkeeping and accounting is.<p>Nice try. But you can't replace what works and what has been done for reliability and confidence since 1400 at least by the masters of trade.</p>

<p>No. The EZLN (Zapatista Army) surrendered in 1994 and in 1996 there was signed a Peace Accord with them.<p>The conflict in Colombia isn't ended yet though, the ELN hasn't signed the cease-fire.</p>

<p>Besides you can write code like this<p><pre><code>   s = {'square': lambda x: x **2, 'simple': lambda x: x, 'cube': lambda x: x ** 3}

   s.get('square', lambda x: 0)(10)
   s.get('nonexistent', lambda x: 0)(10)
</code></pre>
Substitute lambdas for real functions and you have a powerful switch case.</p>
