Write Your Own Freenet-based Game

Posted by timothy on from the new-use-for-an-old-acronym dept.

lhdentra writes "Linux Journal is carrying an article by Brandon Wiley of the Everything Over Freenet project explaining how you can create your very own turn-based game, running over Freenet. He claims it's faster than playing chess by post."

  2. technology by Lord+Omlette · · Score: 5

    Technology is driven by two factors:

    1. Its ability to enable sex.
    2. Its ability to enable game playing.

    With anonymous porn, freenet clearly had the first all set up, but now that it has the second, there are no more obstacles to its widespread adoption.

    Thank you for reading

  3. Namespace corruption? by Shortcut+to+CmdrTaco · · Score: 4

    Doesn't inserting potentially millions of tiny, one-time-use files onto the Freenet risk corrupting the namespace? Is there an advantage to having your chess moves live forever? Seems to me like TCP/IP or HTTP are much better choices, because the transferred data doesn't take up space once the game is over.
