Diplomacy Today is a python program and corresponding flask
application that serves and hosts an early-twentieth-century-style
newspapers generated from the turn orders of a game of Diplomacy
hosted on backstabbr. The idea, and a large portion of the core code,
are not my work, and I deserve none of the credit for it. But the
original program seems to have been abandoned last year, and was
perhaps only used for one game. But that is the beauty of free
software, I have taken nraw’s original code and iterated upon it over
the course of, so far, four games. It now contains more features and
improved polish that builds upon the basic functionality of a GAI
generated in-universe newspaper. I attempted to rewrite the program in
chez scheme as a learning exercise, but ended up not using it as
python has some nice libraries that I couldn’t bother to reimplement
in scheme.
