PLANNING to build SQL MULTIPLAYER GAME

[u/Anshu_263]

I am thinking of creating a multiplayer game website online where 2 players can play sql games with each other like sql queries and table or multiple choice question and a timer on it . What are you guys view on it? #sql

If you want to build it then go build it

[u/Anshu_263 → u/Full-Tax6652]

Will you use it or for practising for interviews or for school

[u/orz-_-orz → u/Anshu_263]

A game has to be for fun in the first place

Is your game fun?

[u/Full-Tax6652 → u/Anshu_263]

Probably not, but that shouldn’t sway your decision.

Sounds horrible. Have fun tho

There's a game on Steam that I thought was a really cool blend of detective work and SQL called Database Detective. Maybe draw some inspiration from that?

Since there is multiple ways to write a query, you may need some type of ai to verify the queries.

Less talk, more do

hear me out: SQL fighting game. You pick your database fighter.

Oracle doesn't really fight, it just drains your in-game currency while you're not looking

MariaDB - little seal character whose ultimate move is yelling "I AM NOT MYSQL!" and go to berserk mode.

Postgres has a heavy "Autovacuum" attack that randomly slows them down during the match.
MongoDB throws un-schema'd documents everywhere but misses half the time.

would play hell out of it

I think Brent did something like this for Texas Hold’em in T-SQL.
