Patience

The only mechanic is waiting. The only currency is time.

What it does

A minimalist iOS game where the entire mechanic is waiting. A circle appears on a black screen after an unpredictable delay — tap it in time, or restart from Level 1. Global leaderboard and a particle visualization built from every 100ms you spent waiting.

A minimalist iPhone game about waiting, attention, and restraint. Out now on the App Store. No ads. No notifications. Anonymous play supported.

Something appears. You tap it. That is all. But the waiting is the game. The wait could end in seconds. Or it might not. A circle appears. Hold it. Wait as long as you can. Each level the circle gets smaller, the wait grows longer, and decoys appear to trick you. Any level can end in seconds — or it might not. The round begins in silence. Tapping early ends the run immediately. When it appears, react fast. The window gets tighter as the levels climb. Too early, too late, wrong shape, or off target. Back to level one. The levels keep going. The wait grows longer, the button smaller, the distractions more frequent. How far you get is a measure of something. There are no power-ups, no lives,…from patience.jordanshaw.com

    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/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.
