For real? I think I could make this work

I mean, this version is a boring, I was just looking into architecure and visuals, and how these could be structured in Emacs Lisp. I never expected people to be so curious about it.

But I think it should be possible to port the whole thing with some limitations (turn-based, as emacs is not really good for live rendering and simulation).

Once you have it polished with a readme and GPL license send him an email at rms@gnu.org -- but remember he hates github, don't mention "open source", do say "free software", don't buy him a parrot, and don't call the operating system Linux without saying "Gnu/" before it, and you'll be fine!

rms> I can view many web sites with IceCat, but some sites refuse to work since I have enabled LibreJS and am connecting via the Tor network.

Don> PS: Could you please verify this stolen sperm quote?

rms> I really said that, probably several times. Alas, I don't remember when or where.
