I get that this is a joke, but I do think a really cool concept for a game would be one where there is just an API for the "state" and that is responsible for the mechanics and rules of the game, but that you would build your own custom client for the UI. For example, some kind of spaceship battle game where you create your own interface for controlling the ship... it would be kind of a meta-game where creating the i…
This was mostly because I was pretty strongly principled against forcing a particular display on the player. I wanted them to be able to explore via a text-based interface or a graphical one.

Sure, but maybe that could be a good thing. For example, you could provide an API for Chess that ranks players across apps. You could use a Facebook ID or similar to merge identities across applications. Then players could choose the chess app they prefer and still be engaged with the larger community.
This is hilarious. This probably won't be, but should be the final entry in the series of 2048 clones. I guess that you could de-servicify it and create own2048, not that I know how it would differ from the original version...
This feels like HN satire but someone has actually gone and written the code so it's fairly elaborate...

A desktop application that is distributed exclusively on floppies?
