Space Miner

This game is no longer running. This page describes what it was.

Space Miner was a multiplayer, turn-based game Nick wrote in April 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown, “just for the fun of it”. He deliberately kept the tools simple: Notepad++, PHP and MySQL on the server, and plain HTML with a little JavaScript in the browser. Players logged in whenever they liked to make their moves, and every round was played out on a schedule.

The full story of the game, its rules and how he built it is in his article: Space Miner.

The game depended on a database and on Facebook's login service, so it can't run on this archived, static version of the site.
