## manifesto ## manifesto
In today's world of capitalism and fascism no one thinks anymore about doing something without personal benefit, without expecting something in return. Complete selflessness and aim for the pure indiscriminatory long-term benefit of everyone is no longer even considered and if it appears by chance, it is laughed at as portrayed as stupidity. Technology that we are using every day is infected by poison more than anything. In today's world of capitalism and fascism no one thinks anymore about doing something without personal benefit, without expecting something in return. Complete selflessness and aim for the pure indiscriminatory long-term benefit of everyone is no longer even considered and if it appears by chance, it is laughed at and portrayed as stupidity. Technology that we are using every day is infected by this poison more than anything else.
From engineering point of view our technology is the worst in history – software is unbelievable bloated, ugly, unelegant, buggy, slow and inefficient, purposefully designed to refuse to work, to break and enslave people, to invade privacy, to be consumed, to resist tinkering and improvement, by law, force, obscurity, brainwashing and other means. Technology doesn't serve people, it serves corporations on the detriment of people. Principles of good, efficient design and focus on long-term values have vanished in the capitalist selfish short-sighted mentality of greed which has already infected the brains of the masses who are no longer even able to see their own abuse and enslavement.

This game is a result of my grief about this deeply sad and frightening state of the world. It is my desperate attempt at showing that something, or rather everything, is wrong. I have put great effort in creating this completely from the ground up so that I could waive all my rights and give this away to everyone. I think it is a great shame of mankind that until now there has been no such a game completely, truly and genuinely in the public domain for all people to freely play, for students and teachers to freely study and teach, for artists and programmers to freely hack, improve and remix.

This game is also designed to be truly good technology as much as possible, with as few burdens to anyone as possible, for both users and programmers. It is designed to last for centuries without maintenance – by only relying on a C compiler which is a relatively simple and perhaps the most essential piece of software, and by avoiding all unnecessary dependencies, both HW and SW, the game is almost certainly guaranteed to be easily compilable long time in the future, probably even shortly after the technological collapse which is inevitably on its way. It is free and simple, modifiable by anyone with programming skills, not just legally but also practically (suckless). The design follows the essential rules of minimalism, simplicity, efficiency, elegance, hackability, openness.

As any disturbance to the status quo, my project too gets a lot of hate, being called backwards, accused of utilizing wrong programming practice, or just being a bad game in general. Nevertheless, it has only been made with love and sincere rational belief in its philosophies. I do not see it as a step backwards, but rather a step in a different, better direction. I believe that if you judge it with an open mind, you may find the hidden truth and revise your view of technology, its philosophy and its future. This game has been made for you and I hope you will find it useful.
