I wrote a CodeWars Puzzle and it was a disappointing experience

When I was learning how to code I got stuck all the time. I didn’t know why I was stuck but getting unstuck was a lot of fun. I would retrace my steps and investigate every line of code that may have caused my program to crash. It was like trying to solve a&nbsp;puzzle.

It’s not a bug, it’s a puzzle

For the last few months, I’ve been working on my second <a href="http://lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php" target="_blank">PICO-8</a> game: Dank Tomb. The core idea for that game came from a <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28785" target="_blank">real-time lighting demo</a>, of all things. Since I was starting from the visuals, I had to search for a while for the right set of mechanics to match them. I considered horror themes and a few other approaches before settling on a platforming/puzzle mix with a top-down perspective, similar to how older Zelda games did their dungeons.

Making puzzles hard on you

2020 isn’t the year everyone thought it would be. The year that was promised to bring forth the ‘best decade ever’, has in fact propagated global lock-downs and bad news.

TL:DR; We were having too much fun in the #riddles channel in the <a href="https://infiniteredcommunity.herokuapp.com/" target="_blank">IR community slack</a> and we did what nerds do, we started to create our own React rebuses.

The computers that we have in our lives are immensely powerful. At any other time in human history, the computational power of a simple smartphone would have been enough to start a worldwide revolution in science. But now they mostly just sit in our pockets, and occasionally simulate the sound of a fart.

The St. Petersburg Paradox is a 300-year-old riddle that continues to punch holes in economic theory and how modern AI systems are taught to think.

The Infinite Jackpot No One Ever Pays For

I think it was over a week ago, I was scanning through the <a href="https://paint.pixeos.art/" target="_blank">pixEOS Paint </a>canvas and I remember seeing this thought bubble from Marilyn Monroe, but at the time, I didn’t look into it much. Then last night I was reading through the new Reddit-style site called EOS Discussions App, and I found that someone had discovered a cipher that leads to a $750 EOS account. The account name is nibogonibogo and can be seen on this block explorer: <a href="https://bloks.io/account/nibogonibogo" target="_blank">https://bloks.io/account/nibogonibogo</a>
