Flower Flood 🌺 - An adaptation of the Flood puzzle made popular by Simon Tatham. No client certificates required, and should work on even the most basic Gemini clients! That said, it looks really good with ANSI colours on.

The rate limiting has been fixed; it should be a lot more forgiving now, while still catching actual spam. 👍 · 1 year ago

The game seems pretty popular so far, so much that the rate limiting is starting to get a bit too much 😅 I'll try and fix it up in the next few days, hope you all are enjoying it though! · 1 year ago

@johano Rob already created the Fifteen puzzle: gemini://jsreed5.org/live/cgi-bin/twisty/fifteen.cgi?0123456789abcdef · 1 year ago

@danrl there is rate limiting, but the limit is one click per second. As long as you make sure that you don't click too fast, it should keep you going steadily. I can always revise this if it ends up getting too popular! · 1 year ago

this is cool :) I feel like it would be possible to adapt a lot of other Tatham's other puzzles to text/Gemini · 1 year ago

@gritty I had to think about it at first, until I realized that literally all you need is a flood-fill algorithm on a 2d array—traverse the garden, keeping a list of nodes to check and a list of nodes already checked. It was actually really fun to put together. · 1 year ago
