This reminded me that notch web game[1]. Both kept me interested and I find them a very pleasant form of art. [1] http://game.notch.net/drowning/

Surprised no one has mentioned Cookie Clicker yet, which I think was what inspired notch to write that game: http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/ Notch's game was written in Dart and the source code is simple and elegant: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid...

For anyone curious...

  Game.ClickCookie(null, 100);

There is no limit to the number you can input.

Got it! For those of you who want to play the game without the delays: - Open drowninginproblems.dart.js in the Sources tab - Verify you can type in the .js file; if you can't, right-click, Add Folder to Workspace, add any/new empty folder - Change the ">" to a " Seems to work.

Agreed.

Who else feels a sense of horrible dread and frustration that every minutiae of my (and your) online activity is recorded for eternity and exploited to the fullest extent? What are you going to do about it?

It motivates me to use lynx to surf or go to a library to read, and to some local store for music and books. The future looks marvellously humane.

I didn't know Austrians have Dutch accents.

Thanks for effectively killing my productivity with that cookie clicker game.

Cookies are stupid, kill monsters instead in Clicker Heroes! https://www.clickerheroes.com/ (Once you understand the meta-game and the meta-meta-game, it becomes seriously addicting)

Finally, a use for my triple-click mouse button!

Making and selling Meth is surprisingly addicting.
