Thank you so much for trying out the game and taking the time to write the feedback!
I did! That was the main workload of this project, and is still ongoing. I have ideas for improvements, and I also have to fix some sentences manually sometimes. But it's getting there.
The sharing shows a kind of "health bar". Every time you make an illogical guess, it reduces one. Running out of "health" doesn't prevent you from completing the puzzle, but it does show up in your share. Based on this, you made 4 "illogical" guesses. If you didn't, then there's a bug. But feels like I should anyways clarify this, if it wasn't clear to you. Thanks again!
I think it's the green checkmark and the green square that are confusing. Like why is there a check on the first green square and not the second one? Maybe it would be cleaner without any checkmark at all? Anyway, nice game, I shared it with my sister who also wants to solve more of them!
I just put live a daily logic puzzle, Clues by Sam. I've been working on it for a while now, mainly on the level generator. It was tricky to generate levels that are solvable using logic (no guessing needed), and also fun to solve (no crazy long deduction chains, but also not just obvious things). I'm sure the implementation still has some quirks on some devices, so would love to hear if you encounter issues!
Highly enjoyable (after I finally read the definitions of "neighbor" and "to the right/left")! Did you write a program that can automatically generate these?? I'll definitely try this again. Note, the emoji graphic in "share" might be buggy? I'm seeing one green checkmark, one green square, and four red squares..

nice try, guys
sxv commented on Synthetic diamonds are now purer, more beautiful, and cheaper than mined worksinprogress.co/issue/... · Posted by u/bswud
When my fiancee and I got engaged last year, we bought our rings from a place that (in addition to having a robust process that allowed us to avoid having to go anywhere in person) uses lab-grown gemstones. Not only is the quality quite high and the color impressive (she picked a pink sapphire), the prices were much lower than we expected. I'm not really sure why anyone would want a "real" diamond at this point; you can get a better one for cheaper without any ethical qualms, and in my opinion the fact that we can basically assemble the gemstones we want at the molecular level is incredibly cool from an science nerd perspective.
Many see a value in "natural" objects that is absent in those engineered by man. There is a raw energy and story behind it. Would you be just as awe-struck by a magnificent waterfall built by engineers flowing atop beautiful factory-produced rocks as one created by geologic forces over millennia?
sxv commented on Pi calculation world record with over 202T digits storagereview.com/news/st... · Posted by u/radicality
As pi never repeats itself, that also means that every piece of conceivable information (music, movies, texts) is in there, encoded. So as we have so many pieces of pi now, we could create a file sharing system that's not based on sharing the data, but the position of a piece of the file in pi. That would be kinda funny
Isn't 202TB (for comparison) way too small to contain every permutation of information? That filesize wouldn't even be able to store a film enthusiast's collection?
