This is like a solitaire version of a game I like called telepathy, where two people at a time will call out a word, and then two more people try to come up with a word that links the two… keep iterating until two people call out the same word! Super fun.

The game you mentioned was productized as "Medium: A Mind Reading Party Game." It is fun.

I wish this were an actual game! Like keep showing me a desired item to craft, that requires crafting 2 or 3 items to get to -- e.g. combine 2 existing things, then with a third existing thing. Or combine 2 existing things, another 2 existing things, and then combine those. And obviously it keeps getting more complex the more items I acquire along the way. And each time I play it's randomized. (And let me play entire…

I went down a Kaiju rabbithole. Here are the monsters I created

- Dragon + Lazer = Dragonzord

- Dragonzord + Sandpunk = Sandzord

- Dragon-Rex + Hippopotamus = Hippodragon

- Mega Dragonzord (didn't see recipe)

- Hippodragon + Mega Dragonzord = Mega Hippodragonzord

- Mega Hippodragonzord + Flying Circus = Mega Flying Circus Hippodragonzord

- Zombie + Mega Dragonzord = Zombie Dragonzord

- Swan + Megazord = Swan Megazord

- Sandzord

- Steam Dragonzord

- Swan Dragonzombie Megazord

- Mega Swan Dragonzord Megazord

The more ridiculous this gets the more fun I'm having! Everything after dragonzord was a first discovery.

My team and I were ghost developers to many companies, developers, and book authors in the hay days of Macromedia/Adobe Flash. We were approached to build a bunch of learning lessons for teachers to teach kids - primarily focusing on human anatomy. Instead of building separate lessons, we built a generator tool for the teachers to drag and drop various combinations and permutations that produce almost infinite lesson…

I miss Flash and all the cool capabilities it had. At a previous company, we built a tool that would allow a teacher to record a video review of a student's animation work, while showing, scrubbing and annotating that work simultaneously. On playback, the annotations would be synced with the video. Good luck pulling that off with Javascript.

There's some work on this on the web space - our company is doing something not too dissimilar using the still experimental API called WebCodecs.

And that pretty much says everything unfortunately - it's still an experimental API with limited availability.

You can do some parts of this using Canvas[0] but there's lots of caveats.

You are correct according to this tweet [0]. That may become inaccessible as Nitter dies, but the text is: > Working on an endless crafting game with llama 2 along with a video of this game. [0] https://nitter.cz/nealagarwal/status/1747284257582506102#m

Ahh, neat application of it. Explains the somewhat dubious combinations I was seeing.

Here’s all the combinations I’ve came up with so far: Swamp + Mud = Quagmire Divorce + God = Odd Sun + Hourglass = Time Glass + Hourglass = Time Ice + Oasis = Penguin Sand + Stone = Pyramid Mirage + Time = Illusion Dinosaur + Lightning = Godzilla Oasis + Water = Mirage Egg + Time = chicken Golem + tide = Titan Titan + time = Chronos Poseidon + lighting = Zeus Titan + Chronos = Cronus Time + Fire = Sun Sun * Titan = Apollo Ash + Mud = Clay Godzilla + Love = God ? + ? = Spongebob Unicorn+Gold=Alchemy Unicorn+Alchemy = Philosopher’s Stone Gold+Alchemy=Midas swamp+chicken=duck duck+roast=goose goose+goose=flock flock+wind=flight Narwhal+time=unicorn Lightning + Treasure = lots of stuff (Rich, idk Narwhal+unicorn=narwhalicorn Jonah+time=narwhal Whale+oasis=jonah Plant+seed=tree noah+ark=flood curse+jesus=cross bank+intrest=money dandelion+cactus=desert Back to the future+riddle=time travel back to the future+time=delorian Desert+indiana jones=tresure
