SecretPancake, This is fun! Unfortunately it’s always overwritten by someone else. I guess too many people playing at the same time?
kalpol, Anyone remember The Incredible Machine game from the 90s?
NoIWontPickAName, Love that game

Cool, but it’s now impossible to submit anything, as the server is being DDOS’d. Not out of malice, mind you, there are just too many geeks out there, and this is a Sunday…
Still, one can read the titles of the already posted rooms with:
<span style="color:#323232;">env URL=https://incredible.xkcd.com </span><span style="color:#323232;">curl -SsL $URL/machine/current </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">| </span><span style="color:#323232;">jq .grid</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">[</span><span style="color:#323232;">]</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">[</span><span style="color:#323232;">] | grep </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">-</span><span style="color:#323232;">v </span><span style="color:#183691;">'^null$'</span><span style="color:#323232;"> | tr </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">-</span><span style="color:#323232;">d </span><span style="color:#183691;">'"' </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;">| while read uuid; do printf </span><span style="color:#183691;">'%s: ' "$</span><span style="color:#323232;">uuid</span><span style="color:#183691;">"</span><span style="color:#323232;">; </span><span style="color:#323232;">curl </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">-</span><span style="color:#323232;">SsL $URL/folio/$uuid </span><span style="color:#323232;">| jq .blueprint.title; done </span>(Useful to find out if your room made it to the public set)
Olgratin_Magmatoe, Quite an enjoyable one. I just wish it were possible to re-visit past machines you made.
7heo, It should be, but the server is overloaded.
Brekky, That was FUN!
sanguinepar, 
That’s amazing. Possibly the cleverest thing I’ve ever seen on XKCD, and I don’t say that lightly.
What a fun tool, and I was embarrassingly proud to finally solve my first section!

ValiantDust, Wow, yours looks much more difficult than mine. I just had red balls coming out on top and having to leave at the bottom. Guess I’ll try another one.
cron, Same for me. I was wondering if there is another difficulty or so
sanguinepar, Yeah, it was really tricky, I had to start again like 5 times!. Then the next one was like you describe, just one colour, one entrance at the top one exit at the bottom :-)
where_am_i, ah, genius probabilistic sorting!
starman, 
xkcd machine that separates balls
That’s my submission. Balls get separated by sword and this anti-gravitational thingy
Tolstoshev, I remember XKCD #1. I just did the math in my head and it’s been ~20 years. Fuck I’m old.
RustyNova, NONONONO- NOT BALLS MACHINES! I CAN’T GET OUT! MUST. WATCH. BALLS…
funnystuff97, Randall has somehow weaponized my love for the Blue Ball Machine. He is a threat to us all.
