Gemini as a Platform for Gamers

Summary: Contrary to what people often assume (or are led to assume), even without client-side scripting Gemini can accomplish a great deal; early adopters, many of whom are technical, test the limits of the very minimalistic (by design and intention) specification

THE mailing lists of Gemini point out some new games for Gemini Protocol; not all Gemini clients ("browsers") support these at the moment, not even an older version of Lagrange and the widely-used Amfora (presented on the right hand side at the start of the video above), but this comes to show how creative spirits and server-side programming can accomplish a great deal. One can, in theory, do banking in Gemini (certificates make sessions, which are are no less secure than on the Web); many flight booking agencies used or still use 'lesser' UIs to do their job (like entering input, in a specialised querying language, for the server to interpret and return results).



"The media will almost never mention Gemini, but that intentional snubbing -- due to a lack of financial incentive, e.g. spies and advertisers -- does not prevent Gemini's growth."The above video shows SpellBinding, which is new, and then Wordtunneler. There are even online 'chat clients' for Gemini. Don't discount it as primitive and useless; it's actually vastly superior/cleaner than other hypertext protocols/spaces when it comes to signal/noise ratio because the Web became a spamfarm. That's just the direction the Web has taken and will continue to take.

The media will almost never mention Gemini, but that intentional snubbing -- due to a lack of financial incentive, e.g. spies and advertisers -- does not prevent Gemini's growth. Earlier this week we reached 1,827 known (to Lupa) capsules in total. Just a couple of days after reaching 1,807. 2,000 by year's end isn't insurmountable.
