Previous tossup - Next tossup

A talk by Dan Ellis about this project featured a graph of the stress levels of ten members of the team over time. This project’s first implementation stored its entire state in a single row in Cassandra, which was abandoned due to being too slow; the developers switched to storing the state in redis in a “bitfield of 1 million 4 bit integers”. This project references Runescape with text like “Connection lost. Please wait - attempting (15[1])to reestablish” and “Unregistered Hypercam 2.” The Green Lattice, the Blue Corner, and (*) Rainbow (10[1])Road are factions that formed in this project. The main person responsible for this 2017 project, Josh Wardle, (10[1])later (-5[1])created the hit web game (10[1])Wordle. In 2022, this project was rebooted with a doubled canvas size and 32-color palette.
