This is a reference to the "wanna feel old?"-style comics, another recurring xkcd theme, for example [0], [1]. But yes, feeling old sucks.

Show HN: Write Code to Solve Minigames

andersource — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 13:32:54 +0000

Hi HN!

Codyssey is a small programming game where you write Python functions to solve minigames. Think pong, flappy bird - the functions serve as a control mechanism for the player.

It evolved from an end-of-year activity I made for an introduction to programming class for 9th graders, difficulty has been adjusted obviously. I ran it as a workshop / competition at several conferences, now considering making it available as a small game.

Some technical details: It runs python in the browser with Brython [0], I originally used Pyodide but it was too heavy for conference WiFis. Code editor is Ace [1].

I'd love to hear your feedback :)
