spaceorbust – terminal rpg where github commits power space civilization

Source: Dev.to

Overview

A terminal RPG where your real GitHub activity fuels humanity’s expansion into space.

• Commits become energy
• Pull requests become materials
• Issues become research data

The tech tree is based on NASA’s actual roadmaps, and orbital mechanics are realistic (Hohmann transfers, Δv budgets).

How It Works

Your contributions on Git platforms are translated into in‑game resources, driving the development of space technologies and missions.

Features

• Works offline (sync via LoRa, QR codes, ham radio)
• 40+ technologies ranging from reusable rockets to fusion power
• Kaizen hackathons with real coding challenges
• Git‑forge agnostic (GitHub now, Gitea/Forgejo soon)
