Money breeds much money, like woohoo animals. They want to eat. Their multiplicity is great.
Clearly, I'm missing something. And yes, I do have "Sims" on the mind.

The game "The Sims" actually has a pseudo-conlang embedded in it:

And here someone tried to work out a dictionary

Thank you, jan Mato. Now i see the point. perhaps i should add some illustrations to help to understand my simlish

the last one is not a perfectly legal, as it use english instead of simplish. it should probably say nasin mani li sama tomo moli pi ma Keme. this is also not perfect, as in tmmo@maKEME the amount of stone per layer grows as x*x, while in nnmn it is like exp(x)=smowun

But "Sims" are available for Linux, does that mean they are open source? if yes, then can one understand a pseudo-conlang analysing the code?
