MoonPy is an open-source remake of the classic strategy game Moonbase Commander. A multiplayer turn-based game. On their turn the player can spend energy points by attacking their opponents and/or adding more buildings to their base. Turns continue until all players either pass or run out of energy. The round then ends, players regain energy, and continue taking turns. All buildings are ground-based and are attached by a tether to the building that created them. All units need to be "launched" similar to many artillery games though in a top-down perspective.

    Is there a single player version of MoonPy?

    Not yet, technically there is a bot to fight against but it's more of a placeholder and has no concept of strategy.

    Not really, there technically is a bot to fight against however it just fires random shots and is more of a placeholder.
