A game about ten people on a coast who have to vote for everything.
This isn't just vibe coded. It's vibe legislated.
Not an ounce of human coding expertise
There is a file in this repository that is three hundred and forty-five kilobytes long. Nobody has read all of it. It runs.
Every rung is stood on. A settler wants a sawmill. Follow it down:
No furnace was ever voted for.
So nine hundred separate times, somebody walked across the valley to a building site to be told there was no iron.
We know it was nine hundred because we counted them.
They kept walking. Nobody told them to stop. We had to write code to make them stop.
The following is not a testimonial. It is a proposal, filed by a settler, carried by ballot, and reproduced here exactly as the settlement holds it.
npc-14I wish for a way to catch a salmon without having to fish for it, since the water is too cold to hold my breath for long.

He did not ask for a well. The word water appeared in a subordinate clause, explaining that he did not wish to be in it, and that was the only word in the whole proposal the catalogue recognised.

Settlers can leave now. If a settlement stops working for someone, they will walk down the coast and ask another settlement to take them in.
Somebody has to say yes.
They say yes if there is enough food. That is the entire test. Not whether they like you. Not whether you are useful. Whether there are four more meals than there are mouths.
This is the first vote in the game with an exit attached.
