Show HN: Minimal Brain Teaser Web Game (Handcrafted, No AI)
Built and open-sourced in the era before AI. I’m sure you know where to find the code.
- dmje 6mo agoIt’s great! Good work.
- Jyaif 6mo agoTruly excellent!
- Vallar 6mo agoCool game. I like the simplistic design. Might be a good idea to add extra score for "least dots used to cage the circle"
- sixhobbits 6mo agoDoes it really not work on Android Firefox? It won't even let me try so I switched to chrome and I'm glad I did because I enjoyed it but I nearly bounced at the screen telling me to get the app
- arttaboi 6mo agoSorry for the bad experience. This was build many years ago, and those nudges to ask user to download the apps are from that time. Though, there's no app, the code is not updated since then.
- andrewstuart 6mo agoHandwritten software interesting concept! There should be a term like “artisan software”.
- cap11235 6mo agoGood job blocking firefox.
- arttaboi 6mo agoSorry for the bad experience. The blocking of Firefox is not intentional. It's a decade old code and seems to be breaking on Firefox.
- nerdcube 6mo agoThis is awesome-- feels very original, the UI is polished and "juicy", and I really like the level progression. My only small feedback is that I felt a bit of conflict in the different scoring systems: am I supposed to be solving as fast as I can, or in the fewest moves, or to get the most stars? That all may be an intentional design choice though. Really great game.
- broken-kebab 6mo agoStars confused me, and they are not mentioned in the How to.
- gneuron 6mo agoyeah it takes a minute to figure it out, you can argue whether or not that's user friendly but you do figure it out after a couple runs
- lotusw0w 6mo agoNot available on my region - the Netherlands
- arttaboi 6mo agoSorry, the app is not available anywhere, it's old code. But you can play it on web-browsers.
- yuppiepuppie 6mo agoI like it! Its been added to the HN Arcade btw :) https://hnarcade.com/games/games/encircle https://hnarcade.com/games/games/encircle
