Hacker News Reader

Hey James, this is a really cool idea. I don't think HN is really your target audience, but early CS students sure are. I could have seen a teacher using this in Highschool or early college. It seems like a great way to practice base conversion. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! That's partly one of my ideas for the target audience, but of course to get the game's popularity rolling, it's not as easy pitching to CS educators/students as it is posting on Hacker News; so to get the game out there, I decided to post it here for now. Seems Bytle (and the newer Hexle I made about an hour ago) is doing the rounds on Twitter now, so it might become noticed by non-HNers soon!
