My wife makes fake test of the topic my daughter must learn in school, so my daughter can solve them and study before the real test.

The test sometimes have errors, that adds some fun from time to time, but most of the time they are correct.

Too easy. I just stayed on the bottom and fired.

Perhaps some pumpkins can get smashed at the bottom and stay there for a few seconds so the bottom gets more dangerous.

Perhaps add from time to time a heart at the top that gives you extra health, but you must climb to get it. (In this case, reduce the hitpoints.)

Is there a web version? I don't like to install apps if avoidable.

When the page loads, it shows a blinking animation [1]. I didn't realize it was a loading an interactive background example. Perhaps load a default photo of the grand canyons and add a clock or something until the full version loads.

[1] In my phone in the subway, not a very good WiFi nearby.

I consider it only "inspired by"

Mastermind has equiprobability of colors and configurations.

Wordle has etaoin shrdlcu. There is some structure close to interleaved vowels and consonants. Also an arbitrary list of real words.

I interpret it as "We are going to pay you only 70% of your market rate"

Open source always implied that commercial applications were authorized. https://opensource.org/osd

In recent years many companies mislabeled source abailable code as open source as a marketing and to build a comunity before the rug pull.

Is this AI generated? How did you prompt the AI? How many of the entries are human verified?

I second the recommendation of https://www.youtube.com/@Numberblocks/ It's fun and has more math than what you may expect.

Also https://www.youtube.com/@TheFixiesOfficial They are cartoons, but in the middle of the story there are technical explanations that are more accurate than in the usual cartoons.

Hi from Argentina!

I tested it in Spanish to translate into English. Fist I picked the source language "Español" and then I had to pick the target language but the list said "English" instead of "Inglés". I expect both in the list or available. Anyway, after picking "English" the page showed "Inglés".

Then I tried to translate a sentences and I had to click like 5 or 10 times until I could write "Quiero comer bananas.". My recommendation is to simplify the UI so it's possible to start like in the box in google.com and then select more details.
