Both of my board games for iPhone, Piccolo and Runes of Ardun, are as of this morning selected as Essential Board Games on the App Store! Not bad for a hobby 🙂
Writing good board game software is so fulfilling. It’s like tending to a beautiful garden.
Runes of Ardun in particular is such a satisfying project due to both the intellectual challenge of writing a high performance strong AI in Rust that can beat pretty much anyone at shogi, with stuff like multithreading, plus the artistic element of designing the pieces, board, sound effects, etc.
If I was less busy with actual work I’d write even more board game software and try to maintain the same high level of quality throughout. Alas! Symbolic Software must also conduct security audits.
