> excel-like development environment

Not to be confused with the Space themed excel-simulator that is Eve Online.



Someone made a parody web game once that was basically a database view of user and game state. You could insert rows and get points and things, it was a hilarious jab at the whole class of games where the gameplay feels like you're just updating cells in a database. I searched for it but couldn't find it just now, anybody know what I mean?


You triggered my memory of playing this. I also attempted to search for it, but the name won't surface in my mind.

I suspect that I'll recall it at 2am tomorrow.

Thanks.


I detect confusion. It's Excel that excels at simulating Eve Online. It sounds like Eve would make an even better simulator of Eve Online than Excel, however.
