This project is inspired by the Apple IIe. We're going to pretend we're living in an alternate 1977 universe, with more advanced technology. Your local computer is a Host Node
capable of operating a small city's worth of compute.

With 5 host nodes, you can power a simulation of about 1 million Apple II class systems. That's the intention of this game - to help you build a network of millions of small-scale agents.
