some work in progress shots from this (marked as sensitive for spoiler reasons)
@suricrasia i like how you are running blender under gdb 😂
@suricrasia ​ i got some very good stuff as a reward!!!!
10/10 good puzzle!
@suricrasia ahhh absolutely love this, thanks for making it!
@suricrasia that was a fun puzzle, and nice easter egg at the end.
@suricrasia Oh, going through this again made me a little emotional. Especially with the addition of the maze...
That aside, love the changes! Solving a little algebra problem was much more fun than the sudoku, imo.
Haven't read the blog post yet, but I'm looking forward to when I have a little more time to do so :)
@suricrasia Was good fun, thank you so much for this!
@suricrasia got it! the hardest part was figuring out the hanoi needed to be in the center lmao
@suricrasia Weee~ (spoiler-ish image I guess so marked it sensitive)

@suricrasia Also edge match made me go "Wait what… You can do this? Is this really going to work? (as I use WebkitGTK)"
@suricrasia thank you for the tech explaination!! <(-<)
@suricrasia Good job and estradiol to you too! Very cute, and impressive to do with no JS.
@suricrasia what is this forbidden style arcanum
@suricrasia Very Cool, thank you.
@suricrasia this is super-awesome. It's really impressive that you did this all with just HTML and in-line CSS 
@suricrasia Woah thank you it was really fun !

@suricrasia

Definitely, the most difficult entry for me was the first ... I wasnt thinking outside of the numbers.

@suricrasia Finished it! Good work in making it!

@suricrasia that blog is so awesome, such a great breakdown of everything! i'll definitely be linking it to people asking about how css crimes work on a more technical level

re "I'd love to link to the #interactable tag": i *think* i have most of #css crimes search results (over 1k pages?) saved, i should look into making the archive publicly browsable

@rebane2001 that would be so awesome to have a faster archive.

I was also thinking recently it would be really cool to have something like a css crime website where people can send theirs in for publication. maybe as a zip file or a github ppl could send PRs to
@suricrasia @rebane2001 we should just have a dedicated website for posting stuff like this tbh. something kind of like this "cohost.org" website

@suricrasia these are just the tag search pages, but i imagine some magic could be done to extract the post jsons and make an archive that you can browse to by original paths too. i might take it up at some point, i already run a few other public archive projects so i could probably make this one work too.

and yes, i'd love a css crimes / web art website!

there are sites like codepen which already have the features (including community/sharing features), but idk i don't like the vibe of them, i'd like something that feels like the warm and fuzzy personal web rather than a sleek modern dev platform.

@rebane2001 I totally agree on the personal web aesthetic. I think that for a css crimes website to be successful it just needs to have a comment section for each post, which could be provided by a 3rd party service. everything else could be static which would make implementing it so much easier.

if you ever want to do that archive thing and need any help, I would be more than happy to volunteer my labour

@rebane2001 @suricrasia oh neat, this reply hadn’t federated…
if you’re ok with a renderer that looks more or less identical to cohost org, I had written one a few months ago at https://github.com/cpsdqs/cohost-dl/tree/main/db/src/render using v8 to run the markdown renderer & some url rewriting to fix background-image references and such. it does require a copy of the cohost source maps though

…I did also download everything I could see in the css crimes tag but I’m pretty sure some people had me blocked :v
plus all the profiles set to logged-in-only would have to be filtered out etc etc…

cohost-dl/db/src/render at main · cpsdqs/cohost-dl

@cpsdqs ooh this is neat, might use it for the archive at the very least

@suricrasia I don't know why, but the towers of hanoi screen was blank blue for me. i had to check the playthrough to see the initial state of the puzzle to solve it. luckily i could do it in my head pretty easy from that point and the passcode appeared on the screen after I solved it. everything else worked just as intended and it was a fun time

aside from lights out. i've never learned how to lights out good and it always frustrates me

@suricrasia i recognise this 'bug report' isn't very helpful, but i don't really know what to say that would help. i'm on firefox. beyond that i don't know what i'd say
@suricrasia completed it just now, it fuckin owns. :D
@suricrasia So impressive, wow! Is it possible that the nonogram had multiple solutions? I love picross but I got stuck in one place
@evert there is one unique solution, it requires proof by contradiction (i.e. if this cell is unfilled, does a contradition arise...)
@suricrasia dang I need to try again
@suricrasia Excellent stuff, thank you !
@suricrasia This is really really really cool!! I really enjoyed solving it, so freaking clever!
@suricrasia i really enjoyed this! great job!
