THE ARCADE_
Six mini-games from my desk, three of them played with the particle swarm. The other three are what building software feels like, minus the invoices. Finish a run and put your initials on the global board.
RESOLVE
Five shapes a day form out of noise. Name each one as early as you can: the sooner you know, the more it scores. Same five for everyone, new ones at midnight.

SWARM//BREAKOUT
Breakout, but the wall is a word made of particles. Move with the mouse, a finger or the arrow keys, launch with a tap or space, and blow it apart cell by cell.
