The interactive piece from the front page, with room to try it, followed by Logiston’s logo, colors and type.

The idea

You don’t play Logiston by clicking. You write a function that runs every tick on the server, and it decides where your supply goes. Here’s that loop in miniature, with two fronts that go to whoever gets more supply to them.

supply.py runs on the server, every tick

def tick(world):
    d1 = world.depot("D1")   # 10 crates a tick
    d1.send("north", )
    d1.send("south", )

Red’s script sends 7 north and 3 south. Each of your roads carries at most 6 crates a tick.

Every crate goes out. Change a number and the next tick uses it.

Tick 0

Ticks you’ve held: north 0 · south 0

Fig. 1. A sketch of the idea. Your script decides where supply goes, and each front goes to whichever side delivered more that tick. It runs in your browser. The Python and the numbers are made up for this page and aren’t Logiston’s API.

Assets

Logo, colors, and type.

Mark

The project’s generated logo mark. The grid gets finer with the commit count, and the cells show the split between languages. It’s redrawn as the project grows.

Palette

The colors Logiston uses across this site: one hue from its discipline’s band, plus the shades that make it work on both dark and light backgrounds.

Type

The two typefaces on the site: a sans-serif for the interface and a serif for headlines.
