Introducing Dyno Dash: Gamify Your Dynamo Graph 🎮

Hello friends of Dynamo!:waving_hand:

For years, the community has asked for Dynamo to be more approachable.
Less spaghetti :spaghetti: More… interactive.

We listened. :eyes:

Now when you open a .dyn graph, you don’t just run it… you play it!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Yes, you read that right.

Load your .dyn file and your graph nodes and wires become your path to the goals, all while staying above the burning fire below!! :fire:.
Use the wires at your own risk :warning:… stability not guaranteed (just like that one custom node you downloaded in 2019 with IronPython2 dependency).

To proceed (and restore health :heart:), answer Dynamo trivia from a boss named Jacobot :robot:. (not to be confused with our friendly community member @jacob.small )
As levels get harder, you’ll also need to dodge… friendly bugs :bug:.

Spawn your own character :technologist: or play as one of the Dynamo team personas :performing_arts:.

Just a small, totally reasonable evolution of visual programming. Nothing weird here at all. :relieved_face:

(Unless today is… a particularly playful day :eyes:)

More to come… stay tuned! :sparkles:

Hahah, brilliant.. Pity it’s past midday here :laughing: .

On it!!:nerd_face:

Well there went today’s productivity :grinning_face:

Not even safe on my side of the world. Definitely been an easy target this year!

Haha amazing!

My ocd is on edge waiting for the mario jingle to lead into the main theme.

On it Nick! Stay tuned :smile:

:tada: DynoDash is live!
You can play it now on GitHub Pages: Dyno Dash
We even got a pretty URL this way :wink:
I think we technically made it in time for Dynamo’s birthday, so… happy 10th birthday, Dynamo! :dynamo:
A few fun details:
• Open source
• Free to play
• Built for the Dynamo community
• Written entirely with Claude Code
• AI-native from the very first second
Please help us share it with the community, try it out, and spread the word. Would love to see people play, fork, remix, and build on it!

Wait what, this wasn’t an April fools joke?! :distorted_face:

Birthday Present :smirking_face:
