You got it spot on! Thanks for sharing your ideas too — there's definitely a lot of potential with Wordle-like games! I've recently created a newer version of Hexle which is making its way up the Show HN list just like Bytle, so y

Thanks for your analysis of both Wordle and Bytle — when my friends and I came up with this game, we didn't expect the game to be in any form challenging compared to games that are similar in nature to it. It was mainly just a joke con

I've implemented a change to the game's instructions that clarifies that the user needs to enter a denary (base-10) number and not binary (base-2). Hopefully that should make it a bit easier for people to understand how to play!

Good idea! Might add a limit to the number of chars the user can input. Thanks for your feedback!

Yeah, as I had now mentioned on the comment that's a parent to your comment, press the 'Done' button on iOS to submit your number!

On Safari, press the 'Done' button — I had to add a blur event to enable iOS users to play the game (due to the lack of enter key on the iOS numpad). Android users are unaffected since they have an enter key.

> Probably can impress your non-programmer friends? I'd say that's an accurate reason as to why this was also created... But yeah, not to hard to beat in just two turns!

Reminds me of that time when I went into the Apple Store and came up to a Mac, opened a window (idk I think it was something harmless like Finder), took a screenshot and then set that screenshot as the wallpaper. I'm sure there were ma

Thanks! As you say, the Pi does chew up quite a bit of the battery life, but I hope that usage should last for at least a day or two. I plan to use a 3,000 mAh battery with the thing, which seems to be quite a lot — my Pixel 4 has 2,800 mAh

Neat! I've been thinking of building something similar to this — a portable Linux machine that has an eInk display and little QWERTY keyboard, in a size that's a just a bit bigger than a smartphone. I've had a spare eInk disp

Is it possible to clean existing extruders that have been previously used with non-food-grade PLA to make them fit for food-grade use, or do you have to purchase a brand new extruder?

Shame, because I only have an fx-970G Plus which can't run custom code besides BASIC. Otherwise I'd join you in this calculator-net! Awesome project, though

It's all working! Well, apart from the reset button for the cassette tape's counter, but that's what inevitably happens with mechanical parts after time. It's true that BASIC is aging, however, as we've seen on this
