Tiny logic-puzzle game, January 6, 2009

This very tiny game is an optimization puzzle about what you can fit into your knapsack, given weights and values for the objects in front of you. It's reasonably entertaining (if you like that kind of puzzle to start with) but not very ambitious -- there's nothing there besides the one challenge.

The interface has been simplified to accommodate the parameters of choose your own adventure-style interaction, so you only have to type the numbers of treasures in order to add them to your holdings or drop them again.

Sometimes the best way to understand a type of puzzle or interaction is a pithy, stand-alone example of it.
