So. A Moscow (missile cruiser) sank yesterday. I need to have a wake and say a prayer somehow. Others can treat it as a celebration if they like 
On itch.io peculiar and original games have already appeared. Here is one example.
I compiled the Battleships game from Eric Raymond. What's good about it is that it works in a terminal and uses ANSI art graphics.
The game was very popular at my school (of course then in a paper version and slightly different rules 
). I was playing right during lessons with my friend, who was sitting at the same desk with me.

You can also run it not from the menu, but from the command line with different arguments. The rules and arguments can be viewed here.

Well, now an interesting historical reference from me personally. The events taking place now on the Black Sea were predicted by a Russian programmer named Vadim Bashurov.
Back in 1992 (that is, the USSR has just collapsed), he made a game (which you can still play with DosBox). It was Battleships, but with a storyline. The game was wrapped in the entourage of a hypothetical war between Russia and Ukraine on the Black Sea. Ukraine has four cities in the game: Kerch, Odessa, Sevastopol and Nikolaev. Russia has three: Novorossiysk, Sochi and (for some reason) Batumi. The game always begins with the battle for Kerch; if we manage to win, then there will be a battle for Odessa; if we lose, then for Novorossiysk. The goal is to destroy the Ukrainian fleet on the Black Sea, capturing all four ports.
And the game, I repeat, was made in 1992 
Now I hope everyone understands why I was almost sure of the occurrence of recent events.
That's how it looked. Pay attention... the flag of Ukraine is upside down. The yellow color on the flag should be at the bottom. But the programmer hadn't seen the flag yet...

Exactly the same flags were hung upside down in the Pentagon: https://www.businessinsider.com/pentago ... nce-2022-5
For the main ally, not a very attentive approach.
But there's nothing to be done. Two-color flags will never stop being confused and hung incorrectly. Clickable (it is better to click with the mouse wheel to open on a separate tab):

However, tricolor is also possible. Tomsk, Russia. Summer has come and the employees have forgotten how to hang the flag correctly The flag is upside down over the administration building:
