@fedi_jam Create a game using ActivityPub, or just generally create a game?
@marnanel Just generally create a game! That being said, we won't stop you if you want to integrate ActivityPub in your game in some form or another. Should that be the case, @evan kindly offered his assistance, see:

@fedi_jam @evan One of the things I was going to do with kepi is to have something like chess or backgammon or connect-four on distributed servers.
Back in the days of AIM, they used to put games in that you could play against other users. Some years in the winter they added a snowball game.
There are straightforward ways of adding the game move and structure information to ActivityPub. But what if the game ID pointed to an implementation via sandboxed JavaScript? So you could play any game you were challenged to, like distributed boardgamearena.
I've pretty much given up on kepi though, unfortunately.
