This summer I decided I wanted to write some code again, but I also wanted to write a casual multi-player party game that I could play with friends over the Internet. What I came up with is Famous Firsts.
Famous Firsts is a literary quiz game. In each round, your group of 3-5 players will be presented with the summary of a real book and you’ll be challenged to write the first or last line. Then all the players are presented with the list of submissions and challenged to pick the real one. You get a point for guessing correctly and another point for each person you fool. Trash talk is conveniently enabled via a side-bar chat function.
The game is nothing fancy, but it was a fun little project and I’ve open sourced it. I hand coded every line of JavaScript, CSS, and Go code, using only one nonstandard library (xid) and no frameworks, external data storage, or cruft of any kind. It’s 100% hand-made, locovore and organic code. Hope you enjoy!
