Here is my contribution (a webapp, a.k.a. a website) http://lalo.li/lsd/ http://lalo.li/lsd/ coded it years ago mostly drunk on an island in Thailand, I now like to play it again on my iPad with iPencil.

How is it in any way relevant to OP's project being shown?

  Social behavior, i wouldn't be too harsh on it. Nice game, it doesnt really take away from the op imo

    Agree, happy to see a list of no-bullshit games go up here, this is a tough crowd so it has to make the grade :)

  Its a no-bullshit game, f'shiznit.
- reificator 7y ago
  Presumably because it's a mobile game with no IAP or ads.

  Wow throwback, loved that game.
  - joshstrange 7y ago
    Yeah... Searching for that game led me back to Chip's Challenge, ended up buying the game ($2), grabbing the level file out of it, and throwing that into TileWorld (cross platform CC engine) to play on my mac. Nostalgia overload.

      Good lord, Chip's Challenge? I haven't heard that name in 25 years. It was installed on the first home PC my family had. Windows 3.11. Played the hell out of it back in the day.

  This style of gameplay goes all the way back to Qix from 1981: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qix

    Wow, never heard of this game (unsurprising as it came out a decade before I was born). I was able to play it here [0]. Arrows to move, spacebar to be able to leave the edge. Very cool!

      That link is to an emulation of an MS-DOS port of the original arcade. You can play the emulated original stand-up arcade game here: https://archive.org/details/arcade_qix https://archive.org/details/arcade_qix Press F3 to choose language, then use 5 to insert coins, 1 to start 1 player game. Use cursor keys to move along existing lines, use Ctrl+cursor keys to draw fast, use Alt+cursor keys to draw slowly.

Which island? I just spent a week on Koh Phangnan :)

That's really great and simple. I intend to steal it, but then I'm too lazy to do anything ...
- franze 7y ago
  Totally take it & make stuff. Think the concept now with iPencil adoption has a lot of untapped potential.
mwagstaff 7y ago
Very nice :)

This is a delightful game, reminds me of my old favourite Qix, and if I had a way to give you a quarter on HN .. I would! :)

Any instructions on how to play this? All I can do is draw a line that then disappears when the dot hits the bottom of the screen.
- mavsman 7y ago
  The dot bounces off lines :)
- franze 7y ago
  Draw lines to get the dot into the square.

Found an interesting bug, if you draw a line directly over the ball it will just vibrate along it till it reaches one of the ends.
- franze 7y ago
  Yeah, that's what happens when you code a physics engine slightly drunk. But ... the glitches make the game way more fun, and can be used to win unwinnable scenarios.

Freakin’ love this. Thanks. Genuinely inspiring.
nyxtom 7y ago
Wow that is addicting ha
nyxtom 7y ago
It's a bit remarkable how many various sports and games we have to hit or throw a ball; perhaps more remarkable how absolutely fun it is.
moretai 7y ago
awesome!
vinliao 7y ago
It's such a simple yet challenging game, cool!
