(purposefully) Bad UI, double-dipping with Borked. Play Plinko to input a phone number!
Shipped this project!
Shipped!
Was fun trying to make something purposefully bad, and also it allowed me to be lazy with CSS styling, which I am genuinely, atrociously bad at, which should lend it some credence as Bad UI (tm). I also flaked out of the Accelerate YSWS very early, so writing this little “Plinko Engine” (engine doing a lot of heavy-lifting there) felt vindicating, like, see, I can do physics, kind of, just don’t drop the ball straight down, but just kidding I hard-coded it so you couldn’t, so I win, actually. Freakin’ owned B-)
But yeah fun short project.
Done!
Here is the whole website working, complete with all Hole types, end screen, and a How to Use blurb (not AI, if you would believe it. I love typing droll, sarcastic, long-winded paragraphs…)

Added a way to release the plinko ball manually, a direction preview, and a way to reroll “holes.”
Also, speaking of, most “holes” are in! Each hole does a specific thing when the plinko ball lands on it, depending on its type.The types are:
- 0-9: Number hole, adds a number to the input box;
- (empty): Blank hole, does nothing;
- ❌: Erases a single character;
- đź’Ł: Erases EVERYTHING!
- âś…: Submits the form
Colors (really, the styles in general) are temporary…
It’s probably impossible to actually put a phone number in, but, hey, they did ask for bad UI :-)

Basic Plinko physics (hand-rolled, this is just an HTML canvas…) The goal is to have holes with numbers at the bottom, and where the ball falls will be the number that is typed >:-D
I also want to do some special/bonus holes too, that would, for example, allow you to type a number, delete a character, start over, etc.
