Hammurabi is a perfect first programming project since it advances by turns, has simple but not trivial rules, and fits nicely into what we offer and expect of a plugin. We wrote a user manual today which will guide the project and become an About Hammurabi Plugin page when complete.

Hammurabi was originally written as 'The Sumer Game' (1969) in FOCAL on a DEC PDP-8 computer, by Richard Merrill. Sometime later, it was ported to PDP-8 BASIC. David Ahl ported this version of Hammurabi to BASIC, and added the 10-year performance assessment.

I was reminded of playing the FOCAL version while watching my son playing a similar sim where one manages a settlement on Mars. expand
