[HN Gopher] Show HN: Quorbo - a quick and quirky quest for the q... ___________________________________________________________________ Show HN: Quorbo - a quick and quirky quest for the quote Hey HN, Today I'm launching Quorbo (www.quorbo.com): a simple letter-revealing game (think Wheel of Fortune with some twists) where you get 6 turns to guess the day's quote! It's my first post-parenthood side project and first web game. Being a working dad has caused me (for the first time, believe it or not) to focus on simplicity. Up until about a year ago, endless free time secretly plagued me... because I love _building_, and more free time meant: more room to add complexity. Not anymore! Quorbo is the first of my initial batch of three simple word games, and I can't wait to make more. Let me know what you think! (improvements, bugs / quirky behavior / stumbling blocks, any and all feedback welcome!) Enjoy!
