Show HN: Antimatter – Match the opposites (Mahjong solitaire mechanic)

via Hacker Newsmichaeld1236h ago

I love word association games. Here's a playable wordplay game where you match opposite word tiles. After playtesting a lot of mechanics, I think opposites play really nicely with Mahjong solitaire. The current generation of frontier LLMs can't make puzzles that get much more interesting than hot-vs-big-vs-fast. New inferences keep circling a small pool of concepts unless the prompting has a way to get the LLM into new territories of language. Puzzlemaking needs graph traversals. I made 20 levels algorithmically because I work with a huge semantic graph with over 100M edges, built from manual lexicography and millions of LLM inferences (various models). I keep exploring what can emerge from this graph. The puzzles are randomly selected; reload to see others. The front-end was built with Claude Code. Maybe someday I'll make this into a mobile game, increase the complexity and peril. If you are a gamedev, feel free to dissect it and borrow any parts. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinato
