Show HN: A game fully contained in a link
Hey HN, I made https://linkians.com https://linkians.com which is a game where all the action and state is contained in the url. The game involves taking care of little pets (emojis) that live in your url bar. Kind of like tamagotchi or sims. Feed them, play with them, and watch out for enemies!
There's no server, just emojis in the url and client-side logic. Any linkians url using the supported emojis is a valid game state so you can save your game, or type out your own url and send it to a friend.
I'd appreciate any feedback.
- subtract-smiles 4y agoThis is fabulous! It initially took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on since the instructions are pretty vague, but once I got it the sheer delight was incredible! I showed my friend and he's been putting together these huge hypothetical scenarios. If I had to ask for something, it would be the ability to pause the interaction and also change the speed of rounds.
- escot 4y agoThanks! I think the ability to pause is a great idea.
