A city of learners

Fink is a city where learning is the way upwards.

1 XP = 1 minute of skilled thought.

The plaza in Fink: the Debate Hall with its orator in the pool, someone talking on the soapbox in the middle to a few people gathered round, three boards hanging overhead; as the film runs, more people walk in from the halls and the streets until the square is full — Fink Plaza, as of October 1st

One application, four parts

The city, the warehouse, your study, and everyone in it.

Above ground, Fink scores every minute itself. Under it, finkers build games for each other. Your study stays on your own machine. And whoever is in Fink is in it with you.

The City

The plaza and the halls. Games Fink has played and vouched for, every minute of them scored on Fink's own machine.

Walk in The eight places

Community XP · shared

Under the plaza, a Space for anyone who claims one, hung with games finkers made. Play them for community XP: minutes of real practice, on your record. The best are featured here, and a jam's best get a plot above ground.

Your Study

Your classes as bookcases, a desk that keeps your minutes, a board of what's due. A folder on your own machine that nothing leaves.

The World

Whoever is in Fink is in it with you: strangers on the square, fellows, letters, a live debate with a stranger, the jam.

The jam

The November Jam

Open now for entries, closes December 1.

Make a game that actually teaches something, put it in Fink, and enter it.

Fink's team judges the entries at the close: $75, $50 and $25 to the top three, the square's plot above ground to the first, and a plot on the Row to the next eight.

How to enter four steps

Make a game that teaches something. Any tool you like, your own LLM included. Make a game has the prompts. That is the one rule.
Put it in Fink. Paste what your LLM made and Fink hosts it, or link your own site.
Enter it. Press Enter it in the jam on your games, any time while the jam is open.
Make it good. At the close Fink's team plays every entry and picks the winners: the cash and the plots above ground. Not voted, not by minutes played.
