Moodboard for an imaginary game

In January 2023 every day I made a room with a robot in it, and maybe wrote a little program for the robot in the room. This was also mixed in with rules, lore and rechosted inspirations. Nowadays this is just posts that evoke a particular feeling. Probably like 80% rechosts from @randochrontendo


The 27th chamber of Santa's Labyrinth, a #Dungeon32 thing

"Dream Date" Chip Headington

He's guaranteed to take you out!

"Dream Date" Chip Headington is the current champion of Labyrinth Presents The Telephone Wrestling Championship Belt Series and Smackdown Royale. As such, he knows all of the relative rankings of the participants and can verify or respond to queries where the answer is who beats who. LPTTWCBS rankings are non-numeric but do form a rooted tree with Chip as the current root.


The robot query language allows querents to define relationships in terms of other relationships. In this case, "A Outranks B" holds if either A has beaten B directly in their most recent telephone wrestling match, or A has beaten some C and "C Outranks B" holds.

[
    [ X, "Alias", $X],
    [ Y, "Alias", $Y],
   ( here we define a new, local
     topic, "Outranks", in terms
     of other possible relationships )
    [ [X, Outranks, Y],
      "Define",
      [ X, "Beats”, Y ] ]
    [ [OutRanks, X, Y],
      "Define",
      [ [Z, "Alias", $Z],
        [Z, Outranks, Y], 
        [X, "Beats", Z ] ] ]
