About Cogore
Cogore is a free puzzle game about system design. Each level is a small system under real load. You add parts, run the test and fix what breaks.
How it works
Each level gives you a goal, a budget and a board with a few parts. You connect caches, queues, servers and databases with traces, then run the test.
A deterministic simulator runs your design in the browser. Latency, cost and errors come from the run, not from a script. The same design always gets the same result.
A level checks targets, not one answer. Many designs can pass, and a cheaper or faster design earns more stars.
What you need
A browser on a phone or a computer. Play starts at once, with no download. After the first visit, the game also works offline.
An account is optional. It syncs your progress between devices, and you can choose to show your runs on the ranks.
Who makes it
Cogore is open source under the MIT license. Anyone can read the code, report a problem or add a level.
