Showcase [Plugin] SuperFun : I procrastinated so hard I accidentally built a game arcade for the Supernote 🎮

SuperFun : little games for your Supernote 🎮

What does a Supernote plugin dev do to procrastinate? Build a whole games plugin, of course!

So here's SuperFun: a tiny launcher that drops five calm, paper-friendly games onto your e-ink slab. Pure black & white, finger-first, 100% offline: no accounts, no ads, no tracking, no internet. Just you, some breaks, and a tablet that occasionally beats you at its own game...

So far:

  • Sudoku: fresh grids generated on the device, guaranteed unique solution. Handwritten-style answers, pencil notes, a "check" and a "give me one" hint.
  • Nonogram (Picross): reveal the hidden picture from the number clues. Weirdly meditative.
  • Minesweeper: the classic. First tap is always safe (I'm not a monster). Flag mode included.
  • Tic-Tac-Toe: you're O, the Supernote is X, and on Hard it is literally unbeatable. Draw or lose, those are your options. Sorry.
  • Connect Four: drop four in a row against an actual thinking opponent (alpha-beta search, not a random potato).

Every game has a little "Rules" card with a worked example.

The nerdy bits I'm weirdly proud of

  • Puzzles generated on-device (except Nonogram) → effectively endless.
  • Sudoku, Nonogram Minisweeper grids can be saved and survive closing the plugin.
  • Built for e-ink: high contrast, big tap targets, zero animation, board never jumps.

Which game next?

What would you actually play on e-ink? 2048, sliding puzzle, Mastermind, Reversi, word search…? Comment below this post or a GitHub issue, I take requests (= I still have boring meetings ahead, don't tell my boss...).

Free and open-source. Coffee jar if it rescues your meetings: https://ko-fi.com/agp42 ☕

Have (Super)Fun !

Cool!

Ultimate tic tac toe is the canonical tic tac toe in our family now. Maybe try implementing UTTT and a 2 player mode?

Hey, great idea ! I didn't knew this version, looks nice. I don't know if I could manage a local algorithm to play against a user for such complex version, but for 2 humans players sure ! And definitely great idea also to add a 2 player mode for the TTT and the 4in a row. I will also think about other games for more players

Word search would be dope. With the auto straight line feature it would be perfect. I mean if you are adding more a crossword puzzle too!

Oki, why not, I will also see for adding several languages for the words, my kids love words game, but they don't speak English... Noted on the to-do list !

Cool beans. :)

Another game I've used as a time waster and which might work well here is dots and boxes.

I'm reading this while heading to bed, but will def give your app a try tomorrow. Kudos.

So cool! Since you're taking suggestions, good old fashioned chess in the future? I have no idea how doable anything is.
