code runner

a little game based on those interaction-bait tiktoks/reels where you have to solve for a code from the hints given - retro arcade theme!!

demo

to demo, you can click here!!

how to play

• through the process of elimination, you have to crack the code using the hints provided on the left.
• if you guess incorrectly, you will lose half a heart. this will continue until you lose all your hearts, signaling game over.
• each level has a randomized code, and the high score is your highest level achieved.

controls

• use left and right arrow keys to move between the digits.
• use backspace to delete the currently focused digit.
• press enter to guess.

notes

• this game is best played on pc!
• pssttt, if you don't want to solve the code, there's a console log of the code that you can enter ;)
• the hints are generated from the code through an algorithm that allows you to crack it, but the algorithm isn't perfect. expect an unsolvable code every once in a while (and dm me on slack if you find one :)).

coming soon

• timer (toggle in settings).

usage of ai - ai has been used in the creation of this project, specifically chatgpt.

• ai has been used in helping me with errors i came across in the hint generation algorithm.
• ai has been useed in the written text for the guide.
