Welcome to AtNomic

AtNomic is a PHP based Nomic toy. Unlike other games of Nomic, in this one the computer is the judge. The rules are governed entirely by the code that makes it up. All the files (including this one) are editable by the players.

One way to think about it is that it's similar to a version control system such as CVS or Subversion. You can get the files, modify them, and submit them. You do so according to the rules of the version control system. In this particular case, the code you are modifying is the version control system, which means you can change the rules for how the version control works.

One of the most frequent questions I get is: What's the point?

The point is whatever you want it to be. It's technically a game, so you could add a point system that would allow someone to win. You could look at it as a version control system and start adding useful features that it lacks. You can fix bugs, or try to introduce new ones without anybody noticing. You could add a forum onto it. You could add a CSS stylesheet to make it look nicer.

Mostly, it's an experiment to see what happens to it over time.
