A couple questions: did you get permission from Friese for Funkenschlag? Why Typescript? Any plans to control for players who rage quit, anti-play (in all forms), cheat (two connections from same IP)? I tried but couldn’t test right away, is this more like BGA or TTS?

Yes it's like BGA, not TTS.

No, we haven't done much to secure the online playing experience for strangers other than simply enforcing the rules of the game. We've been so far more focused on the API side of building game than the service side of having customers, but these are all on our radar as table stakes to make this an nice experience for random players.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/CommonsClause has several links explaining what's wrong with the Commons Clause. The reason the AGPLv3 is my preferred replacement is that the FAANGs are irrationally afraid of it and refuse to let it be used anywhere in the company (e.g., https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl... ), but it's still 100% Free Software and Open Source and so allowed to be p…

I've seen a lot of takes on the GPL but this is a new one to me. As another comment points out, you only have to make changes available to others if you make the software itself available to others; either by distributing a binary or by using it to provide a web service.

But this is, fundamentally, the point of "Free" software: someone who uses a piece of software should be entitled to change that software as they desire. This obviously implies that if you make your own modified software available to others, they too must be able to make their own changes.

Really cool looking! Excited to mess around with this.

Happy to see the everyPlayer[1] flow command to allow for simultaneous actions. This is something that's missing from the other boardgame frameworks I've tried.

Don't called your project *Zilla. The copyright owners of Godzilla are known to go after everyone who tries to use the "Zilla" suffix. Mozilla learned its lesson long ago and had to negotiate a special agreement.

Um, wow, I had no idea. I've got some other pretty good domain names at the ready, so, maybe I need to pull the trigger on that.

Using this thread as bug report.

There is a typo on the “Credits” card on game pages: ”arist” -> ”artist”

Woah, this is wild. Never knew how aggressive the copyrights were for *Zilla.
