| description: | medit/bin/N-in-a-row game chebang=#!/usr/bin/env .wiki cont=This is an idea for a game which: * Is entirely non-random * Has no hidden information * Involves strategy * Is playable by normal humans * Has an infinite state-space * Is hopefully fun * Is generally unsolvable ** Although it may be solvable when restricted to "reasonable" board sizes The basic idea is: * The gameboard is an infinite grid * One player starts by placing a single X anywhere * The second player must get two Os in a row within f(1) turns (f to be defined) * Generally, if you get N in a row, then the opponent has f(N) turns to get N+1 in a row or you win. Then it repeats when they have N+1 * You can also get N+1 in a row yourself, in which case the counter resets with you still in the winning position. Open questions: * What is f? * Can you place your symbol anywhere, or only next to the existing game? Of course, the most vital part is the definition of f, and we're not yet sure what to do with that. |
1#!/usr/bin/env .wiki2(Formulation 4)4==Ingredients==5* 5 cups water6* 5 tbsp sugar7* 1/4 tsp ground ginger8* 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon9* 1/4 tsp citric acid10* 6 drops almond extract11* 6 drops peppermint extract13==Recipe==14Mix water, sugar, ginger and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, simmer on low for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 1 hour (note that it will still be quite warm after this time). Add citric acid and extracts, mix well. Separate into two 20oz bottles and refrigerate. Separate remaining solids either by straining or by pouring carefully (the solids sink, so simply pouring from the top will separate them). Carbonate, drink. Resulting soda will be pale amber in color.16==Variations==17I am currently trying a variation in which I use 2 drops less almond and add 2 tbsp of "artificial vanilla flavoring" (a weak alternative to vanilla extract).
