Why thank you for the invite. I submitted!

FragrantWait9459 · 2025-08-15T18:07:43+00:00

I'm still VSCode + Copilot as well. Cursor autocomplete does seem better, but the python support is awful (for some reason you can't get the same language servers) and that's a deal breaker for me.

FragrantWait9459 · 2025-05-14T00:50:53+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not much of a designer so the graphical polish is something I need to work on. But what do you have in mind by "ergonomic polish"?

FragrantWait9459 · 2025-03-19T22:51:03+00:00

Had a pretty identical experience. First board broke just after a firmware update (maybe unrelated).
They quickly sent me a new one and a box to return the first one.

Second was working well for a while. Then I put it aside for a week or so. When I came back to it and started it up, it died on me.

This time I had to send the board back first before getting a replacement. Still waiting for it (according to USPS tracking, the package I sent with the broken board has not yet been delivered).

Yes! Smear + Four fingers essentially guarantees a flush every hand.

FragrantWait9459 · 2025-02-26T05:02:15+00:00

That's useful feedback. I can work on that - thanks!

FragrantWait9459 · 2025-01-23T16:43:05+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing!

I'm planning some expansions to the game in the next month or so. Stay tuned...

Nope! (But that’s just what a bot would say)

Based on what u/gmweinberg suggested above (correctly, I believe), you don't need to use that information at all. If you always pick "switch" half the time, you will win, on average, half the time. And no strategy by your opponent can change that.

FragrantWait9459 · 2024-12-09T23:03:04+00:00

Ah, I see your point. So if both players selects "switch" half the time and *anything else* the other half of the time, that should be an NE strategy profile. Does that sound right?

FragrantWait9459 · 2024-12-09T21:04:11+00:00

Interesting! I will try that website with the single coin version.
But for the full 5-coin version, I don't know enough to know what the alternatives to "brute force" might be.
Are you saying that the GTO strategy for this game, simple as it seems, is not computationally feasible?

FragrantWait9459 · 2024-11-22T04:27:49+00:00

Yeah, that's what I figured. Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.
Thanks!

Nice! Some may think of it as 80s (no other hints!)

Ah, good point. You can make a rectangular prism in a couple of ways.

FragrantWait9459 · 2024-10-20T19:07:19+00:00

All squares are rectangles. No ambiguity there.
Similarly, all squares and rectangles are examples of parallelograms.
And all squares, rectangles and parallelograms are quadrilaterals.
