Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

ASCII Royale is a peer-to-peer battle royale game played entirely in the terminal, featuring procedural generation, real projectiles, and network play via iroh without needing a server. It's interesting for its novel combination of CLI gaming with modern networked multiplayer, auto-aim mechanics, and bots, all in a single Rust binary.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, gamers
