I built a game called Angularis, which is similar to Tetris, but based on triangles instead of squares. The new part is that it also allows and encourages diagonal movements.
Thank you for your nice and constructive feedback so far.
I plan to keep polishing the game and to implement some of the suggestions.
The approach for the project so far was to use only „VanillaJS“ (so no frameworks, except for CSS) and to keep it as lightweight as possible. I think I might deviate a bit from this strict approach in the future.
Very interesting concept.
One question: the data that gets input (for example via file-input), does it stay local in the browser or is it (temporarily) uploaded somewhere?
I did something similar for Twitter few years ago, but then came to my personal conclusion that this type of information is not very useful , since people on Twitter (or Reddit) would not be the key factor to move the needle on a particular stock. So in the end it is just one datapoint of many.
I think I will try to add some functionality around this problem to the bookmarklet, which I created to deal with „yards, feets and inches...“

Sounds quite scary assuming it could „interact“ with your actual files on the hard drive. But that fits well to the idea of a Dungeon and makes it more exiting.
This little bookmarklet helps with reading webpages that use "inches", "feet", "yards" and "miles" for people (like me) used to the metric system. (It can also handle in. ft. yd. mi.)
