Not-a-ZIP game!

ZIP-like Puzzle. With Steroids.

What it does

This game is inspired by the original ZIP path-drawing puzzle, the 562nd opus by Thomas Snyder, which gained popularity as a daily game on LinkedIn. It keeps the same simple core rules, but removes the daily limit and expands everything around them. You can play anytime, with multiple modes, skill-based rating, progression, and challenge features like time pressure, collapsing grids, directional cells, and bomb tiles. Same logic. Much bigger playground.

    Domino fit is a domino tiling puzzler I spent a lot of time both making and playing. Its like sudoku but with a geometric angle, the sum of the dots must match the row and column numbers. It's running on Betsy, the server under my couch, and was made with typescript. I'm proud of it. I hope you give it a shot, and appreciate any thoughts or criticisms!

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
