yeah, there are many ways to waste energy. This is one. The current games are basic. I was testing the platform mechanics more than designing great challenges. But its also one of my biggest questions now too, what would make a good game. The exploits / bug finding is an interesting idea. Something very technical. Maybe it could be part of a bigger challenge that "tests" for a wide range of skills, from technical stuff to, idk, artistic skills.

Super interesting - and it looks pretty clean too. I was thinking about building something like this just for fun and out of curiosity, to see how they would perform. (I also wanted to have say 5 instances of each model to compare their decisions - See if, say Gemini would end up going more or less for the same things or not across all the 5 instances, etc) I'll keep checking it daily!
