## What Jamie wrote

A game which is only accessible via a REST API — I've never seen that before! You can play it by directly interacting with the API, and community members are creating their own interfaces and applications on top of it. 

> SpaceTraders is an API-based game where you acquire and manage a fleet of ships to explore, trade, and fight your way across the galaxy. Use any programming language with our API to control the most powerful fleet in universe.

Wild! 🤠
