I'd love to use this tool with my high school CS class, but the "suggestive" numbers would, unfortunately, prevent me. Great concept and well implemented! -specifically, some of the first few numbers are 69 and 80085

You can edit the url to use any number. :)

a specific example: https://looo.lol/?x=666

If you're into binary math games, also see Flippy Bit And The Attack Of The Hexadecimals From Base 16 (note: site has sound). https://flippybitandtheattackofthehexadecimalsfrombase16.com...

I'm gonna check this out - thanks.

I also play this one which I think was posted on HN a while ago: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=go.lang.bintri...

Yet another site falls victim to CSSWG’s absolutely asinine, entirely indefensible idea to make centered flexbox items in a too-small container clip and become completely inaccessible on the left side.

Anyone who says flexbox “solved” centering hasn’t been paying attention.

It blows my mind that this is the “best” (or at least most ubiquitous) layout engine in existence.

Edit: to be more constructive, can anyone offer the OP a concise, CSS-only, diff that would fix the mobile issue without changing the DOM structure or layout on larger screens? It might be possible with a min-width: fit-content, but I have no development setup available at the moment.

At first glance, I was kinda lost when I saw only 7bit in use. My 8bit OCD kicked it. I still have kind of mixed feelings about a website that does not use bit lengths that are powers of 2.

Allow me to introduce you to the 12-bit computer on which Unix was first implemented. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-8

That might not matter enough if the students start saying, “Have you seen the examples on that website loco5niner showed us? looolol”.

I also can’t help but mention that I already know the answer to this example from one of my favorite jokes in Futurama: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_4TPlwwHM8Q
