       | In essence it is a remarkably similar game, however the
       | sandboxing allows for players to use several programming
       | languages, and not just Python.
       | 
       | It is still basic, only a hobby and under development, however
       | happy to hear any feedback and thoughts.

         | Unfortunately I can't seem to watch any of the matches on
         | mobile Safari; the grids are just blank and the buttons
         | underneath don't do anything. I do have some ad/tracker
         | blockers, though I wouldn't think that would matter
