the 3-minute programmer

My partner Melissa got us a cool game - OuiSi. Mostly it's a bunch of very pretty, somewhat abstract photo cards, and then the book that comes with it lists different games, some creative, some a bit more competitive.

One is cooperative  yet competitive- "OuiSi Capture" - it plays a bit like "Codenames", the group lays out a 5x5 grid of cards, and each round one person is the designated "clue-giver" and picks one word to describe exactly 5 photos. The other players try to guess the five - each correct card is a point for the communal pile, each wrong guess gives 2 points to the penalty pile - first pile to 25 wins. 

The game suggests arranging 5 coins behind a screen to help remember which cards the clue giver picked, but I thought it would be a little easier to have a webpage to run on a laptop to record the picks. Melissa didn't want to wait for me to program, but I promised her I could get it done in 3 minutes...

ChatGPT to the rescue!

The prompt:

give me an html page with 5 by 5 thing of regular pushbuttons. Each button is a square. Caption for each starts with "_". When it's click it toggles back and forth to "X" and "_"

 

Here's the result! Worked like a charm
