been doing the brain bashers daily tracks for a while now (the 10x10 take about 3 minutes each generally - https://brainbashers.com/tracks.asp )
but looking around he has others and these are a similar kind of fun, but longer:

(colour the boxes, avoid runs of 3 in a row, equal number of each colour in each row / column)

Thanks koog, those are fun...I suspect a bunch of them use the same underlying math just with a different visualization...

i have thought about the train tracks thing and the random walk for generating the tracks is easy enough but i can't get a handle on how you'd decide which squares to reveal to make it solvable and distinct.
the three in a row, again, trivial to write a solver that looks for two in a row and puts an opposite square on the end, or for two with a gap and full that gap, but when you've exhausted those, recursively, there's still a way to go.

Man that’s homework
― G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Sunday, 20 November 2022 01:07 (one year ago) link
things i haven't really thought about since ~1989.
iirc a combination of NAND gates can do anything, NOT and therefore AND is trivial and de morgan's law says !(A AND B) = !A OR !B so OR is easy enough. i am thinking about XOR... (it's not a great experience on a phone...)

I've played this a couple of times and managed to clear it both times, but it took me ages. It's a good game but it doesn't feel addictive like a wordle or semantle.

Someone ported wipEout to the browserhttps://phoboslab.org/wipegame/
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 15 August 2023 17:28 (one year ago) link
wow! despite being a huuuuge fan of 2097 and wip3out i've never actually played the original, maybe now is the time. though i'd have to get a controller, is that even possible for browser games on macos? and maybe it's not the best use of my time...

paku paku is very fun. i think it would reach flappy bird levels of stupid/addicting viral simplicity by adding mute and pause buttons
― z_tbd, Thursday, 4 January 2024 23:51 (eight months ago) link
i know this is extremely beatable (even by me!) but after playing 10 times or so my hi score is about 3100. you get multipliers every time you pick up a power pellet so staying alive for an additional 30 seconds or so would probably quadruple that

Does anyone else like these stripped down versions better than the originals? I don't remember actual Pac-Man being as instantly fun.

I played it a few days ago and got some firsts pretty quickly. seems like there aren't nearly as many now.

If you somehow get goku, you can perform "his power level is increasing!" by continually plopping goku on top of gokugoku + time machine = trunks naturally.

(the downpour thing is from the same person that did Cheap Bots Done Quick, the twitter bot meta thing that let people like me write twitter bots. that's their thing - tools to enable other people to create things. so Downpour is the platform and each individual game is just uploaded by pretty much anybody - you can make such games on your phone)
