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
prior gig.

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.
