The game may not be for you, and that's okay.

Go for it!

(One thing though: I released YLINAT under the GPL-3 license. I'm not a lawyer-guy but I think the way the GPL license works is that if you take actual code from it, then the GPL license will apply if you distribute Karit? Something like that. But ideas/lessons, totally fine.)

Looks cool! I wrote something along similar lines a couple years ago that might interest you: https://github.com/areldyb/ylinat

The article talks a little about it. It's more of an unwind+rewind cycle:

The pull from this force then rotates the ground-based drum at a high speed.

This rotation then generates electricity that can be stored in a battery system for deployment wherever and whenever it is needed.

After 45 seconds, the kites are levelled up so that the pull from the wind is momentarily minimised.

This enables the tether to be wound back in, using only a fraction of the electricity generated when it was being spun out.

The result is a net gain in renewable power at the simple cost of flying a kite.

Then the cycle is repeated, again and again, potentially for hours on end.

It makes sense to me. I hope it catches on!

a glance at their artist image and bio should be enough to persuade even the least skeptical observer.

At least we know the article was written by a human.

Hey, um, you're all over this thread and you seem like you've really got an axe to grind here. What's your story?
