    Random reward mechanisms have been woven into the very fabric of the digital world, so doesn’t surprise me.

    Maybe I should add slots to take it to the next level?

    That is awesome!

    It would help if you had a video or gif. I did command + shift + 5 on a mac and recorded. Asked the coding agent to speed it up, edit out some parts between timestamps, and put it in the docs. It did all that. I started an issue anywhere on GitHub, clicked the upload button, uploaded it, grabbed the URL, the coding agent did the rest. It was extremely easy. (Not too late!)

    I'm trying to turn my personal webpage into Breakout.

    Now's your chance to pull a Namco and file an equivalent patent for "LLM is working" minigames!
