Sure. FYI: look familiar? https://github.com/merlinm/rpgame.

It should -- it was loosely inspired from your effort. This was the
output of a SQL training class I was giving to non technical folks at a

You may or may not recall I was the one abusing advisory locks so no one
could play the game but me :-). Your project is an important part of
postgres history IMO. I have some hosting through gcp; I'll set
something up. Out of town until late next week but I'll circle back then.
