- cdfuller 11mo agoHow do you try it out in the web browser? There's no obvious link on the website
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoI haven't published the web version of the app yet, maybe I will in the future
- cdfuller 11mo agoYour description above says it's a supported platform FYI
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoSorry, my bad
- leni536 11mo agoAt the meantime (not mobile friendly): https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/pegs.html https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/pegs... It is part of Simon Tatham's puzzle collection, it also has an app on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles/ And the sgt-puzzles package on Debian/Ubuntu, possibly other distros package it too.

- domlebo70 11mo agoInteresting name
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoThank you
- sim7c00 11mo agocurious
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoThe name Pegma is a play on words that combines: "peg" (peg, token) is the main element of the game and "theorema", which is associated with mathematical rigor and logic
- sim7c00 11mo agocool, thanks a lot!
- InsideOutSanta 11mo agoThat name makes me slightly upset and afeared. The game looks nice, though.
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoWhy?
- tecleandor 11mo agoThere's certain sexual activity called pegging. I guess that's what could come to mind here :)

- leni536 11mo agoRequires google play to run :/
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoAnd what other platform should I add? The application is available in RuStore https://www.rustore.ru/catalog/app/com.khlebobul.pegma https://www.rustore.ru/catalog/app/com.khlebobul.pegma

- AlecSchueler 11mo agoI know this ship has probably sailed but the LLM cover text still feels off-putting to me, like you haven't considered my needs as a reader. I come away at the end with a feeling of "what is the project actually worth to you if you can't spend 5 minutes describing it?" For example, saying "code available on GitHub, inviting community contributions and transparency." I know what GitHub is, I understand the benefits of having it there, it's just a waste of brain power to read the rationale written out in this way. Similarly "Custom-designed font created by the developer to enhance the game’s unique style?" Ok, that's great, but do I really care about that specific detail? It sounds like there was a conversation with an LLM and then a request to regurgitate the information into marketing speak, without any consideration for the actual needs of the people being marketed to. Again, I know I'm probably increasingly alone in this and I'll have to just get used to it, but as a lover of writing it feels like watching a tragedy play out in real time.

- bitwizeshift 11mo agoYou definitely are not alone in feeling this way, it’s happening everywhere now and it’s driving me nuts too. I have the same complaint at work, where coworkers are using it for writing pull request descriptions, and it pumps out slop buzzwords like “streamlined the documentation”. Like, you didn’t streamline anything, you ran prettier on a markdown file! On top of this type of description being useless marketing jargon, the writing style risks to train future LLMs to devolve their writing styles further into this. More frighteningly, how long until the excess amount of LLM-generated slop text like this starts training future humans reading it? People tend to model how they speak off of what they hear and read, and it’s everywhere now.
- pmontra 11mo ago> how long until the excess amount of LLM-generated slop text like this starts training future humans reading it Not much. Add to it deference to technology and the innate preference for new stuff not liked by previous generations: sloppy LLM style will look more authoritative than well thought human style of parents and older siblings.
- endemic 11mo agoI was hoping to be able to play on the website! Do games like this need a native app?
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoWhy not?
- endemic 11mo agoDifferent audiences, I guess. I know lots of people _only_ use dedicated apps. For me, the friction of needing to search an app store, then download in order to play, is too much. I'd rather click/tap a link and be able to start playing.
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoFortunately, Flutter provides this opportunity. Maybe I'll make a web version later
- edarchis 11mo agoPermissions: - control vibration - Google Play license check Not bad.
- widowlark 11mo agoReads like AI slop and the name makes me want to take a shower
