===The Password Game===
The Password Game is a 2023 puzzle browser game developed by Neal Agarwal, where the player creates a password that follows increasingly unusual and complicated rules. Based on Agarwal's experience with password policies,"The Password Game will make you want to break your keyboard in the best way" - Ars Technica. Purdy, Kevin (June 28, 2023) the game was developed in two months, releasing on June 27, 2023. It has become a popular online game and recognized in the media for the gameplay's absurdity and commentary on the user experience of generating a password.
The player is tasked with typing a password in an input box.https://web.archive.org/web/20230629223950/https://www.polygon.com/23777561/the-password-game-browser-neal-agarwal The game has a total of 35 rules that the password must follow and which appear in a specific order.https://web.archive.org/web/20230703095217/https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/942096-password-game-rules-list-how-many-rules As the player changes the password to comply with the first rule, a second one appears, and so on. For each additional rule, the player must follow all the previous ones to progress, which can cause conflict. When all 35 rules are fulfilled, the player is able to confirm it as the final password and then has two minutes to retype the password or the game ends.
Although the initial requirements include setting a minimum of characters or including numbers, uppercase letters or special characters, the rules gradually become more unusual and complex. These can involve managing having Roman numerals in the string to multiply, adding the name of a country that players have to guess from random Google Street View imagery (as a reference to GeoGuessr), inserting the day's Wordle answer, typing the best move in a generated chess position using algebraic notation, inserting the URL of a YouTube video of a randomly generated length, and adjusting boldface, italics, font types, and text sizes.
Other game rules involve emojis in the password. One demands inclusion of the emoji representing the moon phase at that point in time. Because of two other rules, the player is required to insert an egg emoji named Paul, and once it hatches, it is replaced by a chicken emoji. The player then must keep it fed using caterpillar emojis that must be replenished over time. If it starves, the player overfeeds it, or the Paul emoji is deleted in any way, the game ends. Red text subsequently appears over a black background, referencing the death screen characteristic of the Dark Souls action role-playing game series. At some point during the game, a flame emoji will appear, spreading through the password by replacing characters, including the egg, with flames that must be removed.
===Infinite Craft===
Infinite Craft is a 2024 sandbox game for browsers and mobile devices developed by Neal Agarwal in which players combine interactive elements to form others.https://web.archive.org/web/20240212040959/https://www.pcgamer.com/this-browser-based-endless-crafting-game-starts-you-off-with-fire-and-water-but-it-quickly-escalates-to-god-the-big-bang-and-yin-yoda/ The game uses the Llama 2 large language model to create possible elements, making the gameplay seemingly infinite.
Agarwal began developing the game on January 16, 2024,"Working on an endless crafting game with llama 2" - Neal Agarwal in Twitter (January 16, 2024) and announced its public release 15 days later on Twitter."The first version of Infinite Craft, an endless crafting game, is out now!" - Neal Agarwal in Twitter (January 31, 2024) The game became popular on the internet upon release, gaining tens of thousands of active users.(January 31, 2024).
In Infinite Craft, each element has a name and related emoji. The player starts the game with four classical elements – Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind – and combines them into new elements by dragging them from the sidebar and placing them on top of each other. For example, Wind and Earth combine to form Dust,"🌫️ Dust on Infinite Craft Browser" - Infinite Craft Browser and Earth and Dust combine to form Planet."🪐 Planet on Infinite Craft Browser" - Infinite Craft Browser All elements crafted by the player are saved to the sidebar, where the player can also search for crafted elements by their name.
The game uses a large language model to produce new elements, which permits a virtually infinite amount of possible combinations. These include: objects, places, poems, fictional characters, the universe, philosophical concepts, video games, sports players and teams, animals, God, and the Big Bang.
If a player is the first person to discover an element, the game labels it as a "First Discovery". The player can also see all first discoveries they have made by clicking on the Discoveries button on the bottom of the sidebar.
