More EVE fun: My love of the massively multiplayer space opera EVE Online is such that I am a subscriber to the game’s quarterly print magazine, EON, where I recently read that EVE player Syri Dominus has created a simple Connect Four game that’s playable in the in-game browser players can view while playing EVE. The browser, which supports limited html (a dev guide is available from this dmoz page), already has a number of player-developed pages flogging services or giving access to killboards. There’s even an in-game casino. Now, if you launch EVE and navigate over to Syri’s Connect Four site, you can play against a live opponent within the game. No one was waiting for a match when I was on, so the screenshot above only shows the initial set-up (and my handsome Rifter), but it’s a very nice job, and the kind of thing that makes predictions of a World of Warcraft operating system seem not quite so outlandish.
