The game must continue to grow. If a 30 minute cycle passes with no growth, THE GAME IS OVER! So act quick and throw in your bits!

This is a Stone Soup.

Feel free to jump in as a designer, player, critic, bafoon. And we'll just keep each other entertained for a bit.

If you do not know the story of Stone Soup, allow me to tell you.

Once upon a time there were two travelers. They were very hungry, and had nothing but a bowl and stones...

They set up the bowl, and began to announce they were making stone soup. But alas they needed some broth.

Well a woman in town was curious what kind of soup could be made with stones, so she offered some broth, and the two men poured it in. The fire below the pot heated up the liquid. And again the two men eagerly announced the soup was coming along nicely, but if only they had some carrots...

A man comes a long and says, I do have carrots but nothing else. The men say thats fine, and he throws in the chopped carrots and join in the spectacle.

Next more people come and offer some vegetables or seasonings and join the crowd. Soon its beginning to smell pretty good. A villager offers some bowls and together the soup is served and where there was just two men with a bowl and an empty stomach, one small offer at a time combined to make a delicious meal for a whole town.

So what can you do. What one small thing can you add to this game?

The game shall be called Rotoshoko.
And it shall be based on a grid- not a diagonal one like you show in the OP, a horizontal/vertical one.

OOO
OOO
OOO
Where each O is a space in the grid.
Or something like that. Preferably with square grid squares instead of O's.

The grid will be typed in Courier, so as to allow for lots of different tiles, rather than just tiles the exact width of "O"s.

So courier has all of the letters and whatnot be the same size/width?
If I ever run an ASCII game on the forums(again), I'll use this font...
