History

The original game was created by a Polish university student (known online as "Jingizu") during the winter break of 2004. It ran for several months before the author, weary of maintenance, decided to shut it down. The source code was briefly published as a memento.

Several players attempted to revive the game by hosting their own versions, including myself.

Around 2013, I decided to rewrite the game engine from scratch, preserving the original look and feel while refactoring all internal components. The source code for that edition can be found in the legacy subdirectory.

For some foolish reasons, I chose not to use any programming frameworks or libraries, and instead wrote all the components manually. I regret that decision to this day and plan to rewrite the game once again in the future, employing modern programming practices and a mature framework such as Symfony or Laravel.
