I love Balatro and have had a fascination with daily games recently. RNGdle in particular sparked my interest because of its dopamine-factory style gameplay. Per Diem takes a similar approach. In Per Diem, each day you cast 5 dice from a sack randomly. The pips and patterns (ie. snake eyes) are scored, producing your final score for the day. You get one roll a day, so the challenge is maximizing your scoring potential. Charms are the mechanism by which you tilt the odds in your favour: charms can modify the pip score and the multiplier. Each day presents a new "encounter" which slightly modif…

ChessRabbit acts as a chess agent with stockfish evaluation tools. It takes every move that the player plays and it reasons about it, with the help, validation, and confir…
