Inside the work

A collection with individual character.

Co-developed · native captures + browser play

My contribution

Co-developed across product, design, iOS and macOS engineering, and release work.

Engineering decisions

Give each game its own interface
Chess exposes opponent and board controls; Sudoku uses a number sheet; Solitaire keeps the card table. A shared library brings those distinct experiences together.
Separate rules from presentation
The browser ports expose game state and actions separately from rendering. Seeded replay fixtures compare 2048, Minesweeper and Lights Out with native results.

What you can inspect

Explore the iPhone and iPad captures, then play the browser collection. Three portable browser save formats are checked against native fixtures; other facets keep browser-only saves.

Nineteen classic games and three live-data lenses in one app, each game with its own hand-built look. Chess plays a tunable Stockfish engine in 2D or 3D, the Rubik's Cube is a real SceneKit cube, and friends can play Sea Battle, Checkers, Reversi, Connect Four, and Gomoku online. The Mac app ships at feature parity with iOS.

Why it exists

Prismet began as Chess Hotswap, built to hot-swap between 2D and 3D chess, and grew into a calm home for classic games. It still leans on this site: the shipping iPhone and Mac apps fetch the daily Wordgame from prismet.xyz, multiplayer rooms meet through its signaling channel, and the app's settings open Steam Rewind and Debt Clock here.

Highlights
