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
A customer enters, spends ~3 s at the counter (where the 1-in-6 roll happens), then loiters ~8 s with their drink before leaving — ~11 s total inside. With 8 seats the shop turns over ~0.73 customers/s at capacity. Each customer carries a unicorn for their 8 s loiter with probability 1/6, so each seat independently holds a unicorn ~12.5 % of the time (⅙ × 8/11). The number of simultaneous unicorns is roughly Binomial(8, 0.125): P(0)≈0.34, P(1)≈0.39, P(2)≈0.21, P(3+)≈0.06. A new “seat state” arrives every ~1.4 s (11 s / 8), so we sample this distribution ~0.7×/s. Expected time to first 3+ is 1/(0.7×0.06) ≈ 24 seconds at 1× speed. Catastrophe resets the shop (everyone flees, 2 s rebuild), adding ~2 s downtime. So: ~26 s between catastrophes at 1×, scaling inversely with the speed slider. No nudges — the 1-in-6 is rolled exactly once per drink at the counter.

What it actually does
First few minutes at 1×:
- Customers (gray dots) spawn outside every 1.5–3.5 s, queue vertically, enter one by one when a slot opens (max 8 inside).
- At the counter (right strip) each customer pauses 2.5–4.5 s — here the 1-in-6 roll happens. If it hits, the dot turns neon magenta and its drink glows.
- The customer then wanders the floor 6–10 s with the drink, then exits right.
- 1 unicorn inside → faint magenta rim on the shop, tiny particle sparkles.
- 2 unicorns → screen shake, flashing magenta overlay, warping diagonal lines, colored particles drifting — “unstable coincidence”.
- 3+ unicorns → catastrophe: 1.5 s countdown (screen shake builds), then the shop explodes into 200 neon particles, a giant geometric unicorn (12 rotating radial shards + a glowing horn + star particles) assembles in the center, pulses for ~3 s, then dissolves. Shop rebuilds over 2 s, queue & floor clear, simulation resumes.
- Statistics panel updates live: served count, unicorn count, observed rate (converges to 16.67%), catastrophes, peak simultaneous unicorns, plus flavor metrics (meltdowns, fractures, freed unicorns, liters wasted).
Tuning / special-casing:
- Service + loiter times are tuned so the shop runs near capacity, giving ~0.73 customers/s throughput → ~26 s between catastrophes at 1× (matches the math).
- The 1-in-6 roll is exactly one
Math.random()call at the counter — no weighting, no hidden state. - Catastrophe trigger is a pure
holding >= 3check each frame; the 1.5 s delay is only theatrical (screen shake buildup), not a timer that causes the event. - Speed slider multiplies
dt(0.1×–10×); physics scales linearly so catastrophe frequency scales inversely. - Giant unicorn is fully procedural: 12 orbiting shards with randomized radii/speeds, a gradient horn, blinking eyes, star-burst particles — no sprites.
What it does badly:
- Queue visual stacks dots vertically without horizontal spread; at high speeds the line clips the top/bottom.
- Wander logic lets loitering customers drift into each other — no collision avoidance.
- Particle count during catastrophe (200 + 30 unicorn stars + ongoing drift) can hit ~500 particles; on low-end mobile this drops frames at 10× speed.
- Observed rate display updates every frame — noisy early on; a rolling window would be smoother.
- No audio (spec forbade assets), so the “flash/shake” feedback is purely visual.
- Rebuild instantly clears the queue — narratively jarring; a “customers flee in panic” animation would be nicer but adds complexity.
- Statistics like “meltdowns” and “fractures” accumulate fractional values per frame; they’re flavor, not rigorous.
Leave it running: the observed rate will jitter around 16.67%, catastrophes will cluster and gap randomly (Poisson-ish), and the giant unicorn will keep ascending — each one a genuine, dice-rolled convergence of three independent 1-in-6 rolls overlapping in time.
