I've been playing an MMO that you can only play via rest API calls: Artifacts

2 years ago by rutrum to c/programming

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.

Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.

I don't work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!
