As aforementioned, Erick has written a handful of fun little diversionary web challenges, the most popular of which is Acromonics.com; but he's currently assembling his most epic game, the strategic "Fire To The Stars"..."...an online multiplayer strategy board game which requires only a current browser to play. You start with one village, containing 10,000 of your people. You have a handful of resources to spend, but the village will generate more. You can use these resources to buy improvements, to invest in growth and research, and to form units to explore and conquer the world. You create the units and give them orders, and they will execute your commands one turn at a time each hour.Sign up for a game, and it will begin when there are ten players. A brand new world will be generated, and the players each given a village as far away from each other as possible. As you explore the world and build your empire, you will encounter these players. You may turn them into enemies or allies, as you wish, but only one player will be on top when the game is over."Boo-yah. It's catching like wildfire already. Play it! You'll be glad you did.
