Introducing the ten-line challenge:

Create the most complex graph possible using only ten lines of equations! This does not include notes. Use geometry mode to your advantage to create shapes without taking up a line of code. Submissions must be:

- Interactive. The player must be able to impact the graph without modifying the equation sheet.
- Uses 10 or less lines
- More than interactive art, and has “gameplay” features.

Some ideas

- A puzzle game
- A platformer
- A rhythm game
- Decorator (like a pfp maker)

I’ll make mine and post it by the end of today.

Keep in mind there are no winners or prizes, this is just a challenge to see what y’all can do!

I have a question. Does it have to be a game?

Yes I know the title says “game”

Okay I’m going to make a simple physics simulator. I will try to reduce the expression amount as much as possible but I am probably not going to be able to make it only 10 lines. Sorry Katie ☹

As long as its interactive it works. Like it cant be “look at this cool thing desmos can do” but it doesnt strictly have to be a game
