  "account": "BBC Micro Elite, a classic single-player game, was designed with a single player in mind. This meant that modifying it for two players was a challenging task. In this article, I will describe the process of converting Elite into a two-player game, breaking it down into several sections. The source code of the original game was modified to create two-player Elite, which is not a new game but a hack of the original. The modifications are detailed in the project's GitHub repository.",
