Wolfrominoes
This is a little puzzle game I made based on Wolfram's rule 30[0]. I was doing some sketches based on old Genuary[1] prompts and for some reason this idea stuck with me, so I polished it up into a hopefully playable state. I wanted to keep things minimal, but as a semi-easter egg you can play custom variants using url parameters like https://demos.samgentle.com/wolfrominoes/?rows=20&rule=110 [0] https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Rule30.html [1] https://genuary2021.github.io/prompts

In plain words
Wolfrominoes is a minimalist puzzle game built around Wolfram's rule 30, a cellular automaton pattern. Players engage with puzzle mechanics inspired by this mathematical concept. The game supports custom variants through URL parameters, allowing players to experiment with different rule sets and configurations beyond the default experience.

This is the first iteration of a short game I’m making that tries to interactively explain some of my favorite math questions / ideas. My goal is mostly to get the player curious and not necessarily to explain absolutely everything. There were a lot of fun technical parts to building this: - For implementation reasons, it’s much easier if the lines all have integer intersection points with each other. To do this, when a new line is added I “cheat” by rounding intersections to integers and then splitting the old lines at the intersection into new linds (with potentially different slopes)…
A Marble Madness-inspired WebGL game we built for Netlify2024 · 5-million-devs.netlify.com · ▲616Hello HN! We’re a small creative studio specializing in real-time 3D experiences. Netlify approached us to design and build an interactive experience to celebrate reaching 5 million developers. Inspired by the classic game Marble Madness, we created a gamified experience where users control a ball through playful, interactive levels. The goal was to blend marketing content with the look and feel of a game to engage users. The app is built with Three.js [1], using our custom render pipeline and shaders, and uses Rapier for physics simulation [2]. The 2D content is overlaid on the WebGL view…
I'm making a detective game built on Wikipedia2025 · detective.wiki · ▲318Hi HN! Worked on this side project for a while and wanted to share it. It's free to play.
I made a little math game named Summle2022 · summle.net · ▲189I made this game for my children to play, as they are heavily into Wordle, and I thought they'd also like something maths based! Every puzzle is solvable and has at least one solution (usually more). There is a kids mode in the settings, plus a hard mode for extra difficulty.
SineRider, a math puzzle game2023 · github.com · ▲181Messing with your TI-84 graphing calculator is a rite of passage for every teenager who has ever been bored in a math class. In 2013 I was that teenager, and it gave me an idea for a tiny game about sledding on graphs. This project grew into my white whale, and I spent my twenties trying and failing to finish it alone. I shelved the game when I started working for Hack Club in 2018—until last May, when a few community members took it off the shelf. The project took on a life of its own, and turned into a year of nights and weekends from a global team of 20+ teens in 8+ countries. Today…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
