Show HN: Gridentio – A small puzzle I made to learn some react and node

• gridentio 7y ago
  This turned out to be a pretty cool project: It forced me to carefully handle the async nature of react's setState. I also implemented some cheating protection etc. which was a pretty cool extra challenge.

    This is great! Out of curiosity, it seems like you've presented this anonymously on purpose (no credits on site, username is gridentio, etc), just wondering why that is?

      Thanks! I've been discussing whether I should present this as a personal project or credit our small startup. :) I'll add some creds soon.

  I've been playing this a lot! It's quite entertaining. I haven't quite broken 1000, so based on the high scores, I'm probably lacking some additional strategy. I'm extremely curious if there is a "good" strategy (but I'll understand if the developer doesn't want to spill the beans, and I'm sure I'll come up with some new ideas as I play, which is part of the fun). The random 1s, 2s, and 3s sometimes seem to fall magically into place for quite a while (I was convinced for a few minutes that they must not be totally random), but other times the results are disastrous. :)
