I know this ship has probably sailed but the LLM cover text still feels off-putting to me, like you haven't considered my needs as a reader.
For example, saying "code available on GitHub, inviting community contributions and transparency." I know what GitHub is, I understand the benefits of having it there, it's just a waste of brain power to read the rationale written out in this way.
Similarly "Custom-designed font created by the developer to enhance the game’s unique style?" Ok, that's great, but do I really care about that specific detail? It sounds like there was a conversation with an LLM and then a request to regurgitate the information into marketing speak, without any consideration for the actual needs of the people being marketed to.
I know I'm probably quite alone in this and I'll have to just get used to it, but as a lover of writing it feels like watching a tragedy play out in real time.
The name Pegma is a play on words that combines: "peg" (peg, token) is the main element of the game and "theorema", which is associated with mathematical rigor and logic
EDIT: It seems based on other comments you are genuinely unaware of how it sounds, which is totally fine - I feel someone should let you know it sounds like "peg me" or "smegma", which uh... well, ask an LLM what they mean, I suppose. I don't particularly want that in my HN comment history. :D

Interesting name
For people living in Germany, we already have a similar problem with Figma
I've never noticed this until now and now I can't unsee it.
I did not until now
infohazard!
In no way did I put any bad meaning in the the name

Yes, the intent is very clear.

Thanks for the explanation
That name makes me slightly upset and afeared. The game looks nice, though.

Why?
There's certain sexual activity called pegging. I guess that's what could come to mind here :)
Oh, I didn't know
There's also smegma, which is not a whole lot better.
It appears that every short word means something obscene in some language.
Advice would then be to avoid short names for products altogether.
Thank you
curious

cool, thanks a lot!
How do you try it out in the web browser? There's no obvious link on the website
At the meantime (not mobile friendly): https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/pegs...
It is part of Simon Tatham's puzzle collection, it also has an app on F-Droid:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles/
And the sgt-puzzles package on Debian/Ubuntu, possibly other distros package it too.
I haven't published the web version of the app yet, maybe I will in the future
Your description above says it's a supported platform FYI
Sorry, my bad
Requires google play to run :/
And what other platform should I add? The application is available in RuStore https://www.rustore.ru/catalog/app/com.khlebobul.pegma
Fdroid
I will think about it
