I've been playing an MMO that you can only play via rest API calls: Artifacts
Artifacts is a Sandbox MMORPG game where you can use any programming language to control your characters with our API.
The gist is you write macros/automations/scripts to play the MMO based on your logic.
I decided to do it in bash/curl/jq to make it extra fun and learn some tools I use occasionally but only withheavy man page referencing. After some playing I might be a bash-scripting pro.
Well, the API angle is similar to Space Traders
I don't need to play it...
I don't need to play it...
I NEED TO PLAY IT
So this is... what I do for work, just now in my leisure time?
Peak MMO
Hah, okay. That's pretty cool. If people are going to be writing farming bots anyway, one might as well make it the formal objective.
… but i have to work in the morning
Sounds like Screeps or Hackmud! But I think the heavier RPG focus might make it easier to get into. I keep falling flat on games like these, especially with the idea of a few veterans who are automation or async wizards. Definitely gonna look into it more.
