Time to add stuff to it until it breaks

I've been playing Egosoft's X4 (pirated since there was no demo) and 1) I suck at playing it as opposed to the previous game, X3. 2) the way the game is constructed apparently is through xml files

<&ToxicFrog>
so not much has changed since X2 then~
14:44
<&ToxicFrog>
(the reason the X2 script editor is so weird is that the scripts are basically XML serializations of the script's syntax tree. It's really gross.)

A question I ask myself a lot about the X series.
15:57
<~Vornicus>
I mean it is X
15:57
<~Vornicus>
why wouldn't it use XML

did someone take entirely the wrong lesson from Lisp

Honestly, with the x devs, taking entirely the wrong lesson is not out of character~

17:21
< Yossarian>
Yeah, it's strange. I assume there is some C++ groking the XML serializations, but I have to install Civilization V (I've heard the game's base rules are implemented in a similiar fashion but yeah Egosoft lives up to their name... X4, no MP, didn't carry over the models from X3? so now there is only like 20 ships, gg)
17:22
< Yossarian>
because I've been wanting to write an implementation of a table-top game but not sure how to make the game logic modular so people can change things
17:28
< catalyst>
building moddable rules systems is haaard

yeah, I guess I'm kinda looking at games to get a feel for various systems but IMO Egosoft fucked X4 up, I launched X3:TC on a lark and just the feel... was much more fun
18:18
<&ToxicFrog>
There is prior art in the "modular tabletop game engine" space; check out Tabletop Simulator (commercial) and VASSAL (foss)
