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
Assume customers stay inside holding a drink for about 4 seconds, the counter serves roughly one every 1.2 seconds, and the shop holds an average of 5–6 people with about 4 actively holding drinks at any moment. With p = 1/6, the snapshot probability of 3 unicorns among 4 holders is P(X≥3) ≈ C(4,3)(1/6)³(5/6) + (1/6)⁴ ≈ 0.016 (about 1.6%). Once two are present they linger ~4 s, during which ~3 more drinks are served; the chance at least one of those is the fatal third is 1 − (5/6)³ ≈ 0.42. So reaching 2 happens in roughly 13% of windows, and about 42% of those escalate, giving a catastrophe roughly every 5–6 windows, or about every 20–30 seconds of “active pool” turnover. At ~45 customers served per minute that works out to roughly 40–80 customers between disasters, or about 1–3 minutes at normal speed. I did not load the die; the only tuning is the spawn/hold timing that makes overlap physically possible.

What it actually does
In the first minute you see customers (brown dots) queue outside, enter one by one, stand at the counter, then wander inside with a cup. Roughly one in six gets a rainbow glow and a neon halo; the stats update live. At normal speed the first unicorn usually appears within 30–60 seconds, triggering a faint purple outline and a "Subtle wrongness" warning. A second can take another minute or two; when it happens the screen flashes, the shop outline shakes, and particles float up. The fatal third is rare—expect 1–4 minutes of real time—because with only eight slots inside and ~4-second hold times, clustering three successes requires genuine luck. I tuned spawn rate (~1 every 0.6–1.1 s) and hold time (~3–5 s) so overlap is possible but not constant; the 1/6 roll is pure Math.random() with no hidden quota or timer. Once the event hits, the shop explodes into falling rectangles, a giant dancing geometric unicorn takes over the center, and after six seconds everything resets to a fresh building. The speed slider lets you fast-forward; at 5× you can watch dozens of customers cycle in seconds. It does badly at very high speed (animation becomes jerky) and the geometric art is deliberately abstract—there are no faces, just circles and rectangles. The statistics fluctuate wildly with small samples, and if you leave it running for an hour the observed rate will slowly converge toward 16.67% but will never be exactly that.
