    Progress Quest: the CLI edition

  • I've played some idle games just like this, though the name escapes me at the moment. I enjoy the checking in and seeing what's happening with these kind of games.

    I made a container image to run the cli version, this way I can keep it isolated and also deploy it remotely.

    Ant Colony Sim + Daily Mental Health Exercises

  • I'm (slowly) building an ~idle game with a twist! Here's the code: https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants

    The idea is you're given a simulation of an ant colony that grows autonomously 24/7. You define a window of time each day in which you're allowed to make adjustments to the colony's strategy to help them live more optimally. This is paired with mental health exercises like breathwork and journaling.

    The intent is to get people being more consistent with self-care by being motivated to care for a digital pet, but to not make it such an involved endeavor as to be time consuming like a traditional game.

    I'm going to pair with some chill lo-fi music so you can hang out and watch your ants do their thing when you need a moment to feel less frazzled while at your desk job :)

    Still a long long ways to go before I have anything really tangible and useful, but feel free to follow along with the code or ask questions!
