I am learning Elixir and I'd love to see a tiny game made in Elixir to play with and learn from the code. Any examples?

I really don’t think games are the sort of things Elixir would be well suited to, in general.

Games would generally be going against the grain if the langage, not easily leveraging its strengths and really needing areas where it’s weak.

A game server, however, could be good. At least if you don’t need very high performances (e.g. if you need fully accurate physics sim on the server then probably not, plus you’d want to run the game’s own sim anyway).
