Loop - Number Puzzle Game

Draw one path, hit every number — inspired by Zip

What it does

Loop is a one-line number puzzle: trace a single unbroken path through every cell, in order, without crossing yourself. Same idea behind LinkedIn's viral "Zip" puzzle, built as a dedicated mobile game. Fresh puzzle daily, free to play, works offline, no account needed. Built solo, zero ad budget — growing this entirely through organic channels.

Loop is a one-line number puzzle game: trace a single unbroken path through every cell, in order, from a fresh puzzle each morning. Free to play, works offline, no account needed.

Start at 1, finish on the highest number on the board, and cover every cell exactly once without crossing your own path. Loop pairs a deceptively simple rule set with a real difficulty curve — Easy, Medium, and Hard boards genuinely play differently, with sparser numbers and zigzagging walls that force real backtracking. Press and hold the first cell and drag — your line has to end exactly on the highest number on the board. Numbers only connect in order, so a wrong move simply won't register and you'll know immediately. Cover every cell exactly once without crossing your own path or the walls that carve up harder boards. A fresh puzzle drops every morning. Build a streak, get reminders…from ai-app.dev

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
