I've been playing an MMO that you can only play via rest API calls: Artifacts (artifactsmmo.com)

The gist is you write macros/automations/scripts to play the MMO based on your logic.

I decided to do it in bash/curl/jq to make it extra fun and learn some tools I use occasionally but only withheavy man page referencing. After some playing I might be a bash-scripting pro.

Sounds like Screeps or Hackmud! But I think the heavier RPG focus might make it easier to get into. I keep falling flat on games like these, especially with the idea of a few veterans who are automation or async wizards. Definitely gonna look into it more.
