been doing the brain bashers daily tracks for a while now (the 10x10 take about 3 minutes each generally - https://brainbashers.com/tracks.asp )
but looking around he has others and these are a similar kind of fun, but longer:

(colour the boxes, avoid runs of 3 in a row, equal number of each colour in each row / column)

Thanks koog, those are fun...I suspect a bunch of them use the same underlying math just with a different visualization...

i have thought about the train tracks thing and the random walk for generating the tracks is easy enough but i can't get a handle on how you'd decide which squares to reveal to make it solvable and distinct.
the three in a row, again, trivial to write a solver that looks for two in a row and puts an opposite square on the end, or for two with a gap and full that gap, but when you've exhausted those, recursively, there's still a way to go.

Man that’s homework
― G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Sunday, 20 November 2022 01:07 (one year ago) link
things i haven't really thought about since ~1989.
iirc a combination of NAND gates can do anything, NOT and therefore AND is trivial and de morgan's law says !(A AND B) = !A OR !B so OR is easy enough. i am thinking about XOR... (it's not a great experience on a phone...)

I've played this a couple of times and managed to clear it both times, but it took me ages. It's a good game but it doesn't feel addictive like a wordle or semantle.

Someone ported wipEout to the browserhttps://phoboslab.org/wipegame/
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 15 August 2023 17:28 (seven months ago) link
wow! despite being a huuuuge fan of 2097 and wip3out i've never actually played the original, maybe now is the time. though i'd have to get a controller, is that even possible for browser games on macos? and maybe it's not the best use of my time...

paku paku is very fun. i think it would reach flappy bird levels of stupid/addicting viral simplicity by adding mute and pause buttons
― z_tbd, Thursday, 4 January 2024 23:51 (two months ago) link
i know this is extremely beatable (even by me!) but after playing 10 times or so my hi score is about 3100. you get multipliers every time you pick up a power pellet so staying alive for an additional 30 seconds or so would probably quadruple that

Does anyone else like these stripped down versions better than the originals? I don't remember actual Pac-Man being as instantly fun.

If you somehow get goku, you can perform "his power level is increasing!" by continually plopping goku on top of gokugoku + time machine = trunks naturally.
