Is it worrying or reassuring that 'politician' and 'soldier' weren't mentioned?

Have to make a mention of the PlayStation1 (!) RTS game that - in addition to being way ahead of it's time - has since been faithfully recreated for PC. https://wz2100.net/

They seemed like decent chaps, and decent chaps don't check up on decent chaps to see if they're behaving decently. Furthermore there's no point: if they're honest, it's a waste of time - and if they're not honest you don't find out about it until it's too late anyway.

Ask HN: API Games

After reading about http://deckofcardsapi.com/ on HN, it struck me that I couldn't think of any games which are played through APIs other than Chess Games (although text-adventure type games would be perfect for this sort of incarnation, other game types are possible) does anyone know of other API style games?

Re:Ask HN: Why aren't recipes written as timelines? on Monday May 25, 2015 @04:51AM (#9599176)
I imagine after you detail the events on a timeline according to the recipe, you'd likely end up with a colorful list of instructions and little else - some events would also be quite detailed and - in many recipes - optional. I'd much rather see a recipe depicted in a mechanical 'exploded view' format though - but maybe that's just me.
