As the topic name asks, does anyone have mini (puzzle?) game ideas? I’m making a game full of them! I already have a maze generator, a 5x5 sliding puzzle (the one where you move number tiles using the empty space until they are in order) and I have a 5x5 Lights Out game (I got this idea from _Solving the “Lights Out” Problem_ by Physics for the Birds on YouTube). I am also planning on adding Mine Sweeper! I’m just wondering if anyone has a favorite (or frustratingly hard!) puzzle game. **Preferably something that can be randomized** on each play through (ex. all the games I already have). Also, preferably 2D, but all games are worth a mention because, even if I don’t code it, I’ll still be interested in checking it out! In advance, no, sorry, I’m not coding a Rubik’s Cube, that’s way out of scope for this project! Also, if you happen to know a good resource for a way to code the game you are suggesting, that would also be helpful! ---

We had a handheld electronic game called _Merlin_ when I was a kid. Check it out; maybe some of its puzzles and games will inspire you. Definitely read the manual that’s a little lower on the page. > **[Merlin: The Electronic Wizard : Parker Brothers : Free Borrow & Streaming...](https://archive.org/details/hh_merlin)** > > Using this Emulation:The emulator is enabled for mouse control and can be clicked on.Merlin (sometimes known as Merlin, the Electronic Wizard) was a handheld... ---

The way this manual is written, without all the legal garbage, is how I need all manuals from now on 😭 ---

I really like the number guessing game. It’s basically like Mastermind, but with extreme limitations because it only has a few lights. Luckily, Makecode has plenty of lights, so I’ll make a version of Mastermind! ---

Here are a few others that I found today while I was doing some research. Thought you might have fun with them. > **[learn+games](https://bigprimes.org/learn-and-games)** > > learn math and play math games
