The Box - Gravity Maze

Your iPhone is the controller. Tilt to survive the chaos.

What it does

The Box is a minimalist physics puzzler that turns your device into a living 3D labyrinth. Forget buttons - use your phone’s gyroscope to navigate procedurally generated mazes that evolve as you play. Scale from 3x3 grids to massive 5x5 challenges while dodging 9 game-altering modifiers like Gravity Chaos, Ice Floors, and Moving Walls. Test your precision in Weekly Challenges and climb the global leaderboards. Pure skill, zero ads. Can you escape The Box?

  • 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:…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;text.blogosphere.app&#x2F; Non-minimal: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogosphere.app&#x2F; If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
