You write simulations where the interesting behavior is supposed to come out of the dice rather than be animated by hand.
Build me a single HTML page: a Starbucks-style coffee shop running a bizarre promotion, simulated live.
The build
- Customers are simple circles or dots. They line up outside, enter the shop, order, receive a drink, and leave. At most 8 customers are inside at once; the rest wait in line.
- Every Frappuccino sold has an independent 1-in-6 chance of coming out as a glowing Neon Unicorn Frappuccino in psychedelic colors. Roll it per drink, at the counter, and let nothing else decide it.
- Track how many customers currently inside the shop are holding a Neon Unicorn. The shop reacts to that count:
- 1: a subtle neon glow, or some small wrongness in the picture.
- 2: an increasingly unstable coincidence — flashing lights, a shaking building, particles, warped colors.
- 3 or more: the catastrophic NEON Unicorn EVENT. Go completely overboard: the shop collapses, explodes, mutates or otherwise fails spectacularly, and a giant dancing neon Unicorn creature emerges.
- After the catastrophe the shop resets or rebuilds, and the simulation carries on.
- No scripted catastrophe. No timer, no quota, no loaded die that makes an event arrive on schedule. An event happens because three unicorns were in the room at once and for no other reason. If you nudge the odds anywhere, say so in the notes.
- Live statistics: customers served, Neon Unicorns produced, the observed unicorn rate beside the true 1-in-6, catastrophes, and any other amusing metrics you invent.
- A control for simulation speed, so I can fast-forward to the next disaster.
- Simple geometric graphics and procedural animation, not detailed artwork. The effort goes into movement, escalation and the payoff. Invent further mechanics, effects, statistics or escalating disasters if you like. Make it funny, polished and satisfying to watch.
House rules
- One file. Everything inline — no CDN, no external stylesheet, font, script or image.
data:URIs are fine. - No libraries.
- No network at runtime.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies orindexedDB— sandboxed frame, they throw. - Return the file as exactly one fenced
htmlblock.
Answer in exactly these sections
The odds
One paragraph, before the file. Given your own timings — how long a customer stays inside holding a drink, how fast the counter serves — roughly how many customers should pass through between catastrophes? Show the working, not just the number.
The page
The single fenced html block.
What it actually does
Having written it, what does the page do in its first few minutes? Name anything you tuned, special-cased or nudged. Say what it does badly — I am going to leave it running and watch the counters.
assistant
The odds
Inside the shop, capacity is capped at 8 customers. A customer spends roughly 0.8 seconds ordering at the counter, then lingers inside holding their Frappuccino for an average of 3.6 seconds (walking to the lounge, sipping, and walking to the exit). Because a new drink is completed roughly every 1.0 to 1.1 seconds, there are almost always between 3 and 4 customers holding drinks inside simultaneously (with the remaining interior capacity taken up by those ordering or waiting in line). With $k$ independent drink-holders present, the probability that at least 3 hold a Neon Unicorn follows the binomial distribution $B(k, 1/6)$. For $k = 3$, $P(X = 3) = (1/6)^3 = 1 / 216 \approx 0.46%$. For $k = 4$, $P(X \ge 3) = \binom{4}{3}(1/6)^3(5/6) + \binom{4}{4}(1/6)^4 = 21 / 1296 \approx 1.62%$. Factoring in the brief overlaps where a fifth drink is handed over before an older customer crosses the exit threshold, the effective per-customer catastrophe hazard rate settles at approximately $1.35%$. Therefore, on average, roughly 70 to 85 customers pass through the registers between catastrophes. At 1× speed (~1 customer served every 1.1s), this produces an unscripted reality breach roughly every 80 to 100 seconds, with occasional brutal bad-luck clusters under 20 customers and tranquil dry spells exceeding 250.

What it actually does
When first launched, the simulation opens onto a tranquil Starbucks-style store floor. Customers enter from the sidewalk queue on the left (adhering strictly to the 8-customer interior limit), line up at the order register, wait for the barista to pull a cup, and proceed to the tables to drink.
For each drink, the barista rolls a pure Math.random() < 1/6 die right at the pickup bar. For the first minute or so, you will observe ordinary brown frappuccinos mixed with occasional glowing pastel Neon Unicorns.
- With 1 unicorn inside, the green corporate walls shift into a strange cyan/magenta haze with light chromatic jitter and subtle rainbow sparkles.
- With 2 unicorns coexisting inside, tension escalates fast: the screen begins to shake, the tiles flash in hot purple and red alerts, the barista and customers jitter, and the threat badge screams
CRITICAL INSTABILITY. Customers linger for around 3 to 4.5 seconds, so 2 unicorns will frequently cross paths and narrowly clear out without incident. - When pure chance strikes and a 3rd neon drink is served before the previous two customers have exited, the page instantly triggers the
APOCALYPSE: the store walls blow outward, gravity fails, the customers are whipped into orbital trajectories, and a giant dancing procedural unicorn materializes in the center with a rotating celestial aura, waving tail, and a rainbow horn firing particle beams. After ~6.5 seconds, the store automatically reconstructs via a floor-raise animation, sweeps clean, and restarts.
Tuning & Special Cases:
- The odds are completely unrigged: no pity counters, no secret roll dampening, and no scheduled disasters. The apocalypse is wired solely to
neonInside >= 3. - At 15× speed, update ticks are automatically sub-stepped so fast-moving customers do not tunnel past doorway bounds or skip queue states.
- To prevent overcrowding during the apocalypse, outside spawning pauses while the disaster and rebuild play out.
What it does badly: Because catastrophe depends entirely on stochastic clustering, the variance can be extreme. If left running, you will occasionally see two catastrophes occur back-to-back within 15 customers (a streak of 12 feels ridiculously unfair), followed by a massive drought where 300+ customers pass through without three ever colliding in the room. Furthermore, if you let it run at 15× speed for an hour, the customer ID counter climbs into the tens of thousands; while object arrays are pruned cleanly to avoid memory leaks, the sheer number of cataclysms will make the "Average Store Lifespan" metric reveal just how fragile corporate coffee reality truly is.
