Show HN: Brain Frog – Can you be random enough for 11 lines of JavaScript?

I got 50 hits in 100 tries. That being said, I did not particularly like hitting that poor frog :'( Yes, I am the kind of player who would never choose the rude option when talking to an NPC.

You should make one where you can play against the branch predictors of various processors.

pure random player:

  (async function(punch, delay) {
    async function sleep(ms) {
      return new Promise((resolve, _) => {
        setTimeout(resolve, ms)
      })
    }
    
    for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
      punch(['L', 'R'][(Math.random() * 2) | 0])
      await sleep(delay)
    }
  })(punch, 150)
  

  (async function(oracle, punch, delay) {
    async function sleep(ms) {
      return new Promise((resolve, _) => {
        setTimeout(resolve, ms)
      })
    }
    
    for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
      punch((i + 1) < oracle.minForPrediction ? ['L', 'R'][(Math.random() * 2) | 0] : oracle.predictNextPunch() === 'L' ? 'R' : 'L')
      
      await sleep(delay)
    }
  })(oracle, punch, 150)

I am briefly in the top ten after completely misunderstanding the rules nicee

If you want to see what a random distribution looks like:

  jot -r 100 0 1 | rs -t 10

Would be fairer if the frog occasionally got to throw a punch or two...

That was fun, got up to 79 :)

46 and that was my ceiling. frogs smarter than me.

Looks like the leaderboard was hacked unfortunately. Fun little concept.

Woah, neat. Is this like, a Markov chain?

Just wanted to give the little guy a hug

Leaderboard has been overtaken :(

How many pixels wide is the hit zone?

Bam! 50 on the first try. Fun.

Why does a silly little online game need my email to send a one-time login code? What a strange experience

Free?!. Is there a "call us" SSO enabled plan?
