Show HN: TypetoDefuse, a typing puzzle game where every solved module buys time
hello everyone, typetodefuse is a simple daily puzzle game that have different modes/modules, so it's not monotonethe daily is the same as everyone (like how wordle is)…
My oldest two kids are off to college and since leaving we've been playing the Wordle and 'sharing' our solutions with each other. It's been a fun way to stay connected with them, and it's become a bit of a challenge to see if we can beat each other's solutions. This got me thinking about other ways I could connect with them. The thing about the Wordle is that it doesn't take a large commitment of time, you can just pull it out when you've a few spare minutes. So I set out to build a game that would borrow from many of the themes that keep pulling us back to Wordle. What I created is called Tōtle which fits another one of our (okay my) favorite things; Dad jokes and puns (as it’s pronounced total).Here's how it works. You get five different numbers from a number pool 1 to 20, and a target from the remaining pool. Combine two at a time with + − × ÷, using all five numbers, every result a positive whole number, each puzzle always takes 4 moves. You get 3 rounds and 4 undos per round; a medal for fewest moves (perfect 4 = crown). There's a spoiler-free share card, like Wordle’s grid.The combinatorics math works out like this: C(20,5) (that's choose 5 from 20) × 15 possible target…
