  Hormuz is not a minefield though. According to sources, ships are moving near the coast of Iran, according to other sources they are being charged $2M per passage. According to other sources only Yuan paid oil is allowed.

  Well done!I don’t quite agree with making fun of the situation that’s deadly serious to many innocent people. Yet I’m sure the intentions of the author were good.Hoping for peace.

  Excellent! This was a lot of fun to play. Also, something can be said about those good old games that just keep being cool even decades later.

  Now do Missile Command where you’re protecting an all-girls school from US cruise missiles.

  I have not finished a game, but I would be very disappointed if I didn’t get credit for stopping a war once I’ve won.

  Every player action needs to be followed by a drone animation randomly crashing into the remaining tiles.

  Missing feature where you blanket nuke the whole area to destroy mines.

  It's a piece about showing the detachment from war and you are arguing like idiots again. "Look how easy it is," you say. "Even a child could do it. Let me show you." And just two minutes later, there you are: huffing and puffing, bickering like you’re back on the schoolyard. The irony is almost as staggering as your ignorance.

  Oh look! A politically motivated post voted number 1 on hacker news! So it's not a violation if this rule:> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.if it's against Trump or right wing.

  So is the message here that demining the strait of Hormuz will be fairly easy?I was expecting some curve balls at the end with undecidable constellations but it was all quite straightforward.

  How about you make an app about "winning" that involves flying a cargo plane loaded with so much cash to Iranian Islamists that it struggles to stay aloft. Because that was the strategy before Trump and it led to terror tunnels, terror proxies, and weapons grade nuclear enrichment.Edit: For the record this actually happened 10 years ago under Obama.https://www.cnn.com/2016/08/03/politics/us-sends-plane-iran-...> Washington CNN — The Obama administration secretly arranged a plane delivery of $400 million in cash on the same day Iran released four American prisoners and formally implemented the nuclear deal, US officials confirmed Wednesday.
