A brief post on a brief find. I was wondering if anyone thought of using the Fediverse, that nebulous internet thing that includes Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube, Loops, Pixelfed, Hubzilla, Miskey, Fundwhale and more, and used it as an interface to game software. The main thing I’ve found so far is this site, games.rerere.org.
On this site you can start games of Tic-Tac-Toe, Rock Paper Scissors and something called Bunkers, which on quick inspection appears to be an implementation of Scorched Earth. You start a game by sending out a Mastodon message to the game’s address. I haven’t tried any of them yet, so there’s a chance that these will just catch fire and burn down your house if you try them. That’s a thing that can happen, right?
