Would be awesome to also have a private room where you can play X old random/picked holes in a series versus your friends.

I think that's also the idea of https://solidproject.org/

I built a similar setup but I don't like to push the images with docker save and docker import over ssh. Do you run your own registry?
I created a game where you have to guess the location of a city on a world map.

I created it to play something during covid with my friends in video calls. Now it is still online, costs about 4€/m in hosting and is played by some people around the world. I would love to add some features (other player icon) with micro payments but I haven't found something which allows transactions with ~1cent. And I don't want to make it more expensive.

Maybe we will see some sort of AI to generate floor plans based on outer dimensions, orientation and room needs/preferences.

I think https://twist.com/ is the best solution between chat and forum. But they have the same pricing slack now starts using and that makes it unusable to keep knowledge.
The biggest one might be https://screeps.com/

Nice site. During the quarantine a lot of game which you can play with your friends over internet appeared, so I created a site to make it easier to find them: https://playwithfriends.link/ I'll also add this site later today.

If everyone has build/played similar games, let me know.

The new parkitect is really close to RCT2 and has multiplayer. IMHO it's a great alternative.

A realtime multiplayer game to play with your friends. You will see an interactive map and a city name. You click on the map where you think the city is. When the time is over, the game will show you where the city really is and what the other players in the room thought where the city is.
