Yes! See the included CLI.
The old game engine was re-written in early 2020 to handle a higher volume of concurrent games. As part of that rebuild we moved the game logic into a separate Go module that gets compiled into the production engine.
This provides two benefits: it makes it much simpler/easier to build new game modes, and it allows the community to get more involved in game development (without the maintenance overhead of the entire game engine).
