r/Situationism

My favorite line from May’ 68. Another one is “Sous les pavés, la plage!” (Under the pavement, the beach!). I have some hope in something like that happening again. History even makes it probable.

Hey everyone,

First off, a huge thanks to the folks in the previous threads for the great philosophical discussions about the game's design. Also, a massive shoutout to the community member who provided a full French translation for the project. Thanks to them, the game is now fully playable in three languages: English, French, and Turkish. Having it available in Debord's native tongue feels like a huge milestone for this adaptation!

I just pushed the v0.1.5-alpha update, and it’s a massive structural shift.

Up until now, the combat in the alpha was basically a placeholder—you clicked an enemy to attack, kind of like a modern turn-based game. But Debord’s original 1978 rules aren't about "action"; they're about geometric pressure and logistics.

With this update, I’ve finally implemented the canonical combat system:

• No more manual attacks: Combat is now completely automatic and resolved simultaneously at the end of your turn. You spend your 5 moves positioning your network, and then the math takes over.
• The Math: Replaced the generic ratio system with Debord’s strict, deterministic formula. If your attack is exactly +1 over their defense, they are forced to retreat. If it's +2 or more, they are instantly destroyed. No dice, no RNG.
• Combined Assaults & Flanking: Attack power is now summed from all friendly units in range. You actually have to flank and concentrate your forces to break enemy lines.
• Line of Sight: Added Bresenham line algorithms, so mountains actually block fire now.

"I just want to test it out without a friend" I heard this a lot, so I added a quick "Solo Test" button in the lobby. There is no AI yet (writing an AI for a deterministic game based on network lines is a nightmare I am saving for later), but it randomly deploys a dummy enemy army so you can test out the mechanics, flanking, and forced retreats by yourself.

The game now properly tracks Arsenals and triggers victory conditions as well.

You can grab the Windows, Linux (both .zip and .deb), and Android (.apk) builds directly from the repo. I'd love to hear if the "snowball effect" of the combat feels as brutally realistic as Debord intended!

Thanks for following the progress!

Série : L’écologie sociale aujourd’hui — Racines

Un héritage critique incontournable

L’écologie sociale s’inscrit dans un paysage théorique où le marxisme occupe une place centrale. Sans s’y réduire, elle en reprend certains outils essentiels pour comprendre la crise contemporaine.

L’apport de Karl Marx tient d’abord à son analyse du capitalisme comme système dynamique fondé sur l’accumulation. Cette logique ne se contente pas d’organiser la production : elle tend à transformer l’ensemble du monde — activités humaines comme milieux naturels — en ressources exploitables.
