you might find this exchange kinda funny
other user: cohost made the news! me: On the one hand, yay! Cohost is getting recognition. On the other hand, I don't want Cohost's chill and friendly culture to go away if this keeps on growing. [...] jae: i totally get what you mean but we do need to grow at least some so that we can have enough money to keep existing me: I'm certainly not against that! You're doing great with community management so far. I'm just saying I hope you continue being great at it. liffy: the fact that y'all are controlling the levers for that at all, rather than letting it just be a free-for-all from day one, was still super encouraging on this front. the vibes may change a bit over time as the population grows, but i'm hoping with sustainable moderation in place and all that, the community has a better chance than most of staying some level of friendly

The fan community tends to share them in Discord alongside a screenshot like so. They've also got websites that decode the codes for you. Might be worth doing?

For comparison, Petal Crash (a kinda similar sort of puzzle game w/ an editor) uses a base64-encoded string and lets the user either type it in, paste it from the clipboard, or load it from a TXT file.

concepts for a project that was never meant to be...

was meant to be a sort of interactive indieweb directory where people could plonk down their websites on a cool map. in hindsight, probably not the best idea, but it was neat.
A view of an isometric map of tiles, highlighting (well, let's pretend, anyways) an unclaimed tile. now I own it! what will i put on it? my website?! how astonishing!

Grokipedia page for "Furry". The first sentence states "Look up furry in Wiktionary, the free dictionary." Wikipedia page for Furry. It's exactly the same text.

I also love this take on Pac-Man, from "Atari, Inc. v. NORTH AMERICAN, ETC., 672 F. 2d 607"
The copyrighted version of PAC-MAN is an electronic arcade maze-chase game. Very basically, the game "board," which appears on a television-like screen, consists of a fixed maze, a central character (expressed as a "gobbler"), four pursuit characters (expressed as "ghost monsters"), several hundred evenly spaced pink dots which line the pathways of the maze, four enlarged pink dots ("power capsules") approximately located in each of the maze's four corners, and various colored fruit symbols which appear near the middle of the maze during the play of the game. Using a "joy stick," the player guides the gobbler through the maze, consuming pink dots along the way. The monsters, which roam independently within the maze, chase the gobbler. Each play ends when a monster catches the gobbler, and after three plays, the game is over. If the gobbler consumes a power capsule, the roles reverse temporarily: the gobbler turns into the hunter, and the monsters become vulnerable. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by gobbling dots, power capsules, fruit symbols, and monsters. The PAC-MAN maze has a slightly vertical rectangular shape, and its geometric configuration is drawn in bright blue double lines. Centrally located on the left and right sides of the maze is a tunnel opening. To evade capture by a pursuing monster, the player can cause the central character to exit through one opening and re-enter through the other on the opposite side. In video game parlance this concept is called a "wraparound." In the middle is a rectangular box ("corral") which has a small opening on the upper side. A scoring table, located across the top of the maze, displays in white the first player's score on the left, the high score to date in the middle, and the second player's score on the right. If a player successfully consumes all of the dots, the entire maze flashes alternately blue and white in victory, and a new maze, replenished with dots, appears on the screen. At the start of the game, the gobbler character is located centrally near the bottom of the maze. That figure is expressed as a simple yellow dot, somewhat larger than the power capsules, with a V-shaped aperture which opens and closes in mechanical fashion like a mouth as it travels the maze. Distinctive "gobbling" noises accompany this action. If fate (or a slight miscalculation) causes the gobbler to fall prey to one of the monsters, the action freezes, and the gobbler is deflated, folding back on itself, making a sympathetic whining sound, and disappearing with a star-burst. The four monster characters are identical except that one is red, one blue, one turquoise, and one orange. They are about equal in size to the gobbler, but are shaped like bell jars. The bottom of each figure is contoured to stimulate three short appendages which move as the monster travels about the maze. Their most distinctive feature is their highly animated eyes, which appear as large white circles with blue irises and which "look" in the direction the monster is moving. At the start of each play, the monsters are located side-by-side in the corral, bouncing back and forth until each leaves through the opening. Unlike the gobbler, they do not consume the dots, but move in a prearranged pattern about the maze at a speed approximately equal to that of the gobbler. When the gobbler consumes a power capsule and the roles reverse, the monsters panic: a siren-like alarm sounds, they turn blue, their eyes contract into small pink dots, a wrinkled "mouth" appears, and they immediately reverse direction (moving at a reduced speed). When this period of vulnerability is about to end, the monsters warn the player by flashing alternately blue and white before returning to their original colors. But if a monster is caught during this time, its body disappears, and its original eyes reappear and race back to the corral. Once in the corral, the monster quickly regenerates and reenters the maze to resum…

The year is 1982. Ralph M. Freeman, District Judge of the Southern Division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, is tasked with attempting to describe "Donkey Kong". The result is delightfully archaic.

Meanwhile, look at these two minigames from Sofel's followup minigame collection. They've got style, substance. The roulette minigame in particular already features a bunch of Cocona World characters. And the Bingo minigame is so much nicer, too. (Still requires physical cards, but ah well.)

Consider the Bingo minigame. i only recently realized the point was that you give Cocona a card, and then you give yourself (and whoever is on the couch with you) a card, and you compete to see who wins. Neat idea, done in the most clunky way possible.
