A quick clarification / extra context:

This is intentionally experimental and dev-first, not a startup pitch. Games are uploaded as static artifacts and run fully sandboxed in iframes (allow-scripts only) with no cookies or network access.

One unexpectedly hard/fun problem: making infinite scroll work well with lots of <canvas> on mobile (solved by caching/reusing iframes)

I'm not a game developer but writing/porting the (low-fi) reference games on the site took a few hours per game and reminded me how much fun programming can be.

Happy to answer questions or dig into the tech if ppl are curious.

It might help to imagine a different world.

One in which Mary steps out of her room, sees a rose, and absolutely nothing new is added to her understandings.

She already had it all sorted out in her study. In many people’s understanding of “naturalism” that wouldn’t be any surprise.

But that’s not this world.

> We don’t have a word for it because we don’t see that color.

I think you’re missing the argument.

We can easily assign words to things we know exist. That’s not the issue.

When we define things (like “naturalism”) we are invoking symbols and their semantics, all the stuff Mary presumably has access to in her room.

In her room, Mary already understands subjective experience, the brain mechanics behind it, etc.

The realization that there is more outside of Mary’s room suggests that our conceptualizations are limited / not accurate.

If that’s the agreed case how can anyone cling to a universal “naturalism” with a straight face?

With Mary’s room, haven’t we already accepted that formal statements are incomplete - and therefore would be silly to call universal?

You’re assuming the consumer is the one producing batches.

Beautiful!

Would you ever consider building/porting this to nostr?

Can you just add a random query param value to bust the cache?

Exactly. There’s a running joke when talking about code style of “Rich Hickey’s Java” - as the exemplar of weird style. (Which it is if you ever glance at core Clojure’s code base.) But RH in my mind is the epitome of one who understands real practitioner productivity.

Bad analogy. The flat earth theory isn’t novel.
