▲Pell Puzzles Review (dles.gg)
thih9 2 days ago [-]
The game is here: https://pell.achromath.com

I'd update the HN submission url to the actual source, i.e. either the above game url, or its "how to play" section at https://pell.achromath.com/how-to-play .

Currently the submission points to a third party review of the game - IMO it seems more appropriate as a comment.

Wait. So if I write a review/article about a product the HN link should be changed to point to the product not my review? That makes no sense.

If the review is about a casual web game and if instead of reading quotes, your impression and your ads I can experience the game myself then yes we should point to the product.

What ads are you talking about? There are 0 ads on my site!
thih9 1 days ago [-]
House ads do count.

You mean, links to other pages on my site?

When they are off topic, yes.

Note that the whole review seems off topic too. It’s neither more interesting nor more accessible than the topic itself.

Dude, the links in that article go to: 1. The review framework used to review the game 2. The game page itself where user can post their own reviews 3. The original game url

I can't see how are these off topic?

So... how long before this gets added to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection? (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/)

Huge fan of this collection. Would love to collab if anyone knows more C than me (which means any C).

Why do incomplete paths light up the corresponding number? I don't understand this UI choice.

I submitted this gripe (before I saw your comment) to the "report an issue" widget on the puzzle site. I wonder if this puzzle will get ongoing development.

I have a few ideas for feature requests, but I'm not going to bother submitting them if it appears there's no interest.

I'm the creator, got your request and made myself an issue to remember. Thanks for playing, and I'd love to hear what else you have in mind.

Very fair point I will fix shortly.

Author here, can someone explain what happened here? I submitted this article 2 days ago and 1 upvote and it got some how resubmitted today?

TY! Both for explaining why and adding me to the pool, whoever did it. It means a lot.
