  Let's play!

• 

  Move two numbers below the 12 so they add up to 12. 7 and 5? 8 and 4?

• 

  Try 8 and 4. So then a 6 and 2 below the 8, that works. And then 2 + ? = 4? Hmmm.

• 

  How a 5 and 3, that's 8. 3 + ? = 4, no 1. Rats.

• 

  How about a 7 and 5 under the 12! Then 5+2=7 and 2+3=5, good! But then what?

• 

  The solution! There are always at least two solutions.

Inspiration

My brother retired and started working on a couple of words games. I was intrigued.

What it does

Summit is a deceptively simple number game. 15 numbers arranged in a pyramid. The top number is fixed. The two number beneath it must add up to the top number. And so on, two side by side numbers must sum up to be the number above it.

How we built it

Even though I was a career software developer I was interested in trying to vibe code a substantial project. I was interested in developing a puzzle game framework and once built the games just started to come.

Challenges we ran into

Wrestling with LLMs at times.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I think I've come up with a pretty good set of games. My wife has become hooked on several of the games.

What we learned

How to work with different coding agents, several were used. Trying out game concepts to see what seemed to work and what didn't. Friends provided good feedback. Decent games are a bit of a balancing act it turns out.

What's next for Summit

I'd hope it will develop an audience!
