Reminds me of Lord Timothy Dexter's book 'Pickle for the knowing ones'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Pickle_for_the_Knowing_Ones

I like this. No goal, no score, no timer. You can just play around and see stuff happen. Reminds me a bit of the game "Liquid War" where you try to surround your opponent by circling in his tiny blobs and convert them to your color. Wonderful game.

When we were 14 years old, we (two buddies an me) "dreamt" of dying by rolling off a high-rise building in our neighborhood, sitting naked in shopping carts and crashing in a hilarious manner. Now that I'm more than 30 years older, my view has changed. I think, when my time arrives, I just want to die peacefully and without pain.
