Repeat as needed.
I am serious. Somebody needs to make a Linux trading card game. Heck, I’ll try making one when I have time. I think the objective should be like…
Assemble a complete OS from your deck. You need certain peripherals (monitor, keyboard, processor), some extra peripherals (joystick, WiFi), a kernel (Linux/Hurd), OS (GNU), X-Window, desktop environment (KDE, GNOME, Xfce, Enlightenment, etc.), core utilities (bash, ftp, sed, etc.), etc.
Opponent will try to do the same, while at the same time attacking you and destroying your components with stuff like /dev/null, segmentation fault, broken dependency, apt-get remove, lmao. Everything, like compiling, using attacks, uses your cpu’s energy.
Each component gets a compile time (shortened if you have apt-get or yum), stability (HP, basically), and other cool stats. This has the potential to really grow because there are bajillions of different Linux stuff. Plus, it teaches about how GNU/Linux OSes work.
Of course, all the artwork has to be done in the GIMP or Inkscape, with proceeds funding stuff like the FSF, GNU, KDE, etc. Is www.linuxtcg.com taken?
