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
At 1x speed, my simulation gives a customer an order time of about 1.2s, a drink time of 4–8s (mean 6s), and a short walk-out phase, so a customer is roughly inside for ~9.2s and holding a drink for ~6s. The counter is not really the bottleneck; customers spawn about once every 2.5–4.5s. The true Neon Unicorn rate is a flat 1-in-6, or 16.67%. A catastrophe needs three Neon Unicorns held inside at once. With a mean holding time of ~6s and a neon rate of 1/6, the chance of three overlapping neon drinks is low, so I would expect roughly 200–600 customers to pass through between catastrophes at 1x, though queue overlap can stretch or compress that. It is random, not quota-based.

What it actually does
In the first few minutes, the page opens as a dark, simple geometric coffee shop. Customers spawn in a queue on the left, shuffle in, order at the counter, receive a drink, drink at a table, and leave. Every drink has a true independent 1-in-6 chance of being a Neon Unicorn Frappuccino; the roll happens at the counter. The first neon drink causes a subtle neon glow and slight psychedelic tint. If a second neon is held, the shop starts glitching: flashing lights, shaking, particles, warped color effects. If a third neon is held, the catastrophe triggers: explosion particles, screen flash, heavy shake, and then a giant neon unicorn dances out of the chaos. After about six seconds, the shop resets and the simulation continues.
I tuned the spawn interval, drink duration, order time, and movement speed for pacing, but I did not add a scripted catastrophe timer or quota. The only disaster trigger is neonInHouse >= 3. The fast-forward button simply sets speed to 64x.
What it does badly: at 1x, the first catastrophe may take a while because neon unicorns are rare. The queue positions can overlap visually. The movement is simple. The HUD is plain. The canvas is fixed at 960x600 rather than fully responsive. The unicorn is geometric, not detailed. The simulation does not track individual customer emotions, and the shop reset is abrupt. But it is funny, simple, and should leave you watching the neon counter until disaster.
