🎲 I created a new programming game. It's called 2222. (Pronounced "two twenty-two two") Well, I actually created a meta-game — because you have to program the game yourself, in any programming system you want. Then you get to play it. The code is incredibly simple. You can do it in 3 blocks of Scratch. It's what TodoMVC would be if it had a soul. It takes about 22 minutes to play. You will very likely burst out laughing while playing. When you finish the game, you will feel utterly bizarre. You can play the game by yourself, or in a group. Good luck, have fun. I would love to see your implementation, and/or (but especially and) a video of you playing. How do you play program the game? Instructions here: https://github.com/ivanreese/2222

Genius! Maybe + (cooperative) multiplayer? Sit in a group in front of the screen and each player shouts one word in sequence, then back to player one. Supports up to 2222 players. Can’t wait for a conference video where this is played in a break with all attendees.

Yeah, I'd love to hear what a group game sounds like. Either round robin or everyone saying every word or some other variant, who knows!

I might. But I (a) shouldn’t be here answering this question and (b) really should be finishing my Onward! essay which is due next Thursday. Do not talk me into this before then.

Ahaha… I did actually totally forget about this. Hmmm… no promises, but let’s see what this weekend brings.
