Rebels in the sky is a P2P multiplayer game about crews of space pirates roaming the galaxy to play basketball against each other. It's basically a basketball managerial game with some pirate-y stuff. It's a P2P game with no central server, built on top of libp2p. Players interaction are limited to playing games against each other and trading pirates.

The game runs as a terminal application, meaning that you just need to run it from your terminal.

You can try the game over ssh without installing: `ssh frittura.org -p 3788`

My server is not very powerful and there is a limit to the number of concurrent players, so if you like it I would appreciate it if you could install it (https://github.com/ricott1/rebels-in-the-sky?tab=readme-ov-f...) and run it locally :)

Here is a trailer (not of the last version, so some little things are different): https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aaa02f04-06db-4da...

Just curious, how are the results of the match decided? How much player agency is there?

At the beginning of the match, a match ID is created. Randomness is then seeded from this ID and every random event is determined consistently. If you want, a game could be completely simulated just based on the initial ID.
