It's not Eve or any very popular game. I've told about 5 people and only 1 had ever heard of it.

Sorry I can't give too many details because the game doesn't like bots and I don't want to give them any tools to use against me. For that reason there's also no public API.

But the trading system is web-based so it's not too hard to bot it.

I've been botting a trading market in a different game for several years now. I haven't made any actual money off of because the game doesn't allow that.

But it has been very enjoyable and educational. When I started I had essentially no programming experience and taught myself as I went along. I find it much easier to learn programming when I have an interesting project to directly apply it to.
