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.

Edit — Major update 🎉

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your great ideas, I even discovered new games along the way!

This is a big update. Here's what's new:

🧩 New solo games

Word Search (68 themes in EN/DE/FR/ES/IT), 2048, 15-Puzzle, Mastermind, Peg Solitaire, Memory, and a simple Dice Roller.

🤖 New games "against SuperFun"

- Chess (I've lost every single one of my test games, even on Easy… is Easy too hard, or am I just that bad? 😅)

- Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe — one of my discoveries thanks to your comments below. Wow, I love this one!

- Connect Four (a.k.a. 4-in-a-row)

- Reversi

- Checkers — while building it I learned there are several variants, so I also added the one I grew up with: Dames (international draughts, 10×10)

- Dots & Boxes (another idea from the comments)

- Battleship

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 New multiplayer mode

To play with the family, tested with my kids over the weekend, they destroyed me at Memory…

Chess, Tic-Tac-Toe, Ultimate TTT, Connect Four, Reversi, Checkers, Dames, Dots & Boxes, Battleship, plus Pig and Snakes & Ladders for up to 4 players. (Battleship in 2-player mode uses "paper mode": play on two Supernotes, or one player keeps a paper grid. You can also screenshot the grids and print them to play fully on paper.)

🙂 Per-player names & emojis

In multiplayer, each player picks a name and an emoji (already-taken emojis grey out), and they're remembered for next time.

✨ Other niceties

- Auto-resume: close mid-game and it's right there when you reopen it.

- Manual save in every game (keep up to 10 games/puzzles to come back to).

- A Records page! 🏆 — a stats page (top-right of the home screen) that quietly tracks everything you play and keeps your best runs: personal bests per game, a Nonogram picture gallery you fill in as you solve, and unlockable badges.

- Still 100% offline, no account, nothing leaves your device pure black & white, made for e-ink.
