[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Nomyx 0.2 beta, the game where you can change the rules

[Corentin Dupont]

Thanks Brent! I'm glad you like it.
You will win a lot of money if new players come :)
Indeed Brent proposed a rule that allows sponsorship: if you invite a
player in, you win 50 ECU...

The game is still in beta-phase, so expect bugs...
There is some learning material in the links in my mail under (see the
forum).

Best,
Corentin**
