Earlier quoted context omitted.

While we're sharing random toys, https://gashlin.net/tests/graft/ More of a game but also https://gashlin.net/tests/feat/

Checkout out feat, good work

The concept is funny, but actually playing it is very frustrating. It's a perfect example of a game where the difficulty comes from poor controls. (Though it appears to be intentional in this case.)

The audio doesn’t seem to change depending on which area you interact in.

The images will cycle, but also give you a random image which you can’t bring back in one cycle of repeating images. I got spider, ant, hedgehog, ladybug, blue butterfly… but no more than twice.

I guess I started looking for intentional patterns. Then I started trying to make patterns (areas of same image). I had a little spark of ‘joy’ when I got a new image, and disappointment when I cycled it away because I was tapping too quickly.

I toyed with this until I didn’t find any more surprises and got bored. Which I feel is just fine.

I read there’s a lion and a snake. Not enough to make me want to play now, but it’s interesting there might be more patterns I did not discover.

No lion in the code. Snake yes. https://drawing.garden/sketch.js

Well, this is delightful. Something interesting I've observed here... for most people this is very claming (like me). However for a small percentage of people it seems to induce anxiety because they can't understand why it exists or what it is for.

I am part of the second group. Wouldn't even call it anxiety, but just some sort of "light disgust" feeling. Ok I guess it's cool, but you can't do anything useful with it. You can't even draw something meaningful with it like the domain says.

You can draw a garden, so drawing.garden seems very apt to me.

As relaxing as this experience was, I thought of resolving the itch to write trivial code to control the emojis and creatures with left/right clicks.

    let clickCount = 0;
    document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => { (clickCount == 0) ? clickCount : clickCount--; event.preventDefault() }, false);
    window.onclick = function (e) {
        return clickCount++;
    }
    function random(i) {
        let emojis = 20;
        let creatures = 14;
        if (i == 1) {
            return (clickCount % (creatures + emojis)

document.querySelectorAll('p').forEach(p => p.dispatchEvent(new Event('mousedown')))

const pTags = document.querySelectorAll('p'); pTags.forEach((p) => { while (!p.textContent.includes('EMOJI')) { p.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('mouseover')); } });

Need to replace EMOJI with what you want

Can't be bothered writing code that could add a delay so it would look like a pokie machine.
