That’s amazing. Possibly the cleverest thing I’ve ever seen on XKCD, and I don’t say that lightly.
What a fun tool, and I was embarrassingly proud to finally solve my first section!

Wow, yours looks much more difficult than mine. I just had red balls coming out on top and having to leave at the bottom. Guess I’ll try another one.

Same for me. I was wondering if there is another difficulty or so

xkcd machine that separates balls
That’s mine submission. Balls get separated by sword and this anti-gravitational thingy

I remember XKCD #1. I just did the math in my head and it’s been ~20 years. Fuck I’m old.

Cool, but it’s now impossible to submit anything, as the server is being DDOS’d. Not out of malice, mind you, there are just too many geeks out there, and this is a Sunday…

Quite an enjoyable one. I just wish it were possible to re-visit past machines you made.
7heo@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
It should be, but the server is overloaded.

That was FUN!

This is fun! Unfortunately it’s always overwritten by someone else. I guess too many people playing at the same time?

Randall has somehow weaponized my love for the Blue Ball Machine. He is a threat to us all.
