The water level moves with the actual tide off Los Angeles
(NOAA station 9410660). Add one creature per day. Spritz one
creature per day. There is no losing and no winning — it is a
pool, and the ocean does most of the work.
Notes
Tides are real. The chart at the top of the
canvas is the next high or low for Los Angeles. The little
orange dot is where we are right now in that bracket.
Eight kinds of creatures. Anemone, hermit
crab, snail, sea star, urchin, sculpin, kelp blade, barnacle.
Each is a 12×12 pixel sprite drawn in a 1989-Mac-game palette.
One per day. You can add one creature per
LA-day. You can spritz one creature per LA-day per creature.
Soft cap, no streak, no points.
v1 is local-first. Your pool lives in this
browser. A shared pool that other visitors can see and tend
is the next ship.
Cozy is the goal. You can leave the page
open and the water level will keep changing. Some days the
pool is full and the kelp drifts. Other days it sits low and
the rocks bake.
