Currently it's basically just a results simulator without much of a game to it.

Had Claude whip this up.
After seeing this game and being excited a bit, she wrote a piece of paper (https://pic.t0.vc/DHOT.jpg) detailing another game to make. Basically trick or treating along a street.
Again, minor steering from me, and holy shit Claude smashed it.A multiplayer co-op trick or treat game to collect sweets to exchange for more outfits.
Hopefully this stays within the cloudflare free tier. It uses durable objects for some persistence.

So a small script to take some forecasted seat data from polling to work out which combinations of parties could achieve a majority.
Each party is given a letter, n l g a z m o, and a coalition is just an anagram of those letters, eg lmao for Labour+Maori+Act+Opportunity.
The permutations string was AI given because meh. The rest of this prototype.js file was my doing.
https://github.com/jason-s13r/1j.nz/blob/main/src/lab/coalition-calculator/prototype.js
That said, I did then take the prototype.js and basically hand it over to Claude to build a UI for display use on my website so anyone can play with it. And added more polls and historic election results, data from Wikipedia because ez aggregation source.

Let's say a paper is to prove a car can exist by instructing to creating one.
The natural language describes how to create a car.
The code portion instructs how to specifically create a ford pinto.
Someone following the natural language steps could end up with a Suzuki swift.Both results are cars.
An invalid paper might be one where the natural language describes building a car, but the code portion builds a horse drawn carriage.

Ritalin during school & uni, though at a "near homoeopathic dose" towards the end and didn't bother continuing when it became my responsibility as an adult to gp and psych appointments to get more.Education & career path narrowed to the shit I was naturally gifted and very interested in: fucking around with websites. Coming up to about 15 years as a full stack developer.
Some career 'missteps' along the way where I probably could have jumped employers or promotions sooner but didn't because...meh.Been using Ritalin again for the past 3 years. It and coffee are really the only drugs I take. I don't drink alcohol, except maybe one or two beers at very infrequent (less than annual) social events, like work Christmas parties.

ie: git+ssh://192.168.1.10/path/to/repo.git
A remote can even be a directory on the same machine. I did both of these recently to easily move code between my IDE projects dirs to something's plugins dir for a couple of things I was working on.
Git doesn't require any third party code hosting services to operate or exchange source code.
These services provide a (hopefully reliable) storage location and a web ui for the managing access & review, among other things. -

Or just swipe sideways. Because now home, subs, music, live, more are basically UI tabs and swiping sideways navs between the tabs.
Though there is a conflict with swiping sideways through a carousel vs trying to switch tab.
