we’ve been operating the zone since like… may? and it has unexpectedly grown into something beyond like a injoke now so it is a real game. I thought it would be good to share here as much as it is derivative it is gamedev. you can play it here:
in this game you pull numbers. that’s mostly the game loop but there are some elements that gives you agency in that process.
The game mostly started as a Witscord meme, we had a #Dailies channel where we post dailies that people brought up and other people try it out, usually for a week or two. One of them was RNGdle.
This is kind of my character flaw but when I play games for more than a week i cant help but notice the flaws, and like my hand starts getting twitchy… for this game it was especially so bc people kept playing it all the while complaining about how “this number is not rare despite it looking so good” and like the obvious vibecode sheen (and comments).
this was the first iteration of the game, made in 5 minutes mostly for a quick gag to post on the channel, but people liked it more than it had any rights to. people wanted to see more of it, and like months of obsessing over OEIS this is where we ended up. It kind of feels weird to have people that doesn’t know me from other things play the game. I never had a game “break containment” like this. but it is here. it’s fairly good. you might say that its a good rng dle.
Make sure you log in before rolling. so many people got a crazy number first try and was so distraught when they logged in the number would disappear.
