OOH! Neat! I looked on my mobile phone enough to get a sense of what this is.
I'm not in the petroleum industry, but about 45 years ago I was mesmerized at an energy fair at my elementary school by this Exxon magazine that showed the refinery flow with a bunch of little dots: https://archive.org/details/p-2330663/P2330670.JPG

I accidentally clicked through the explanatory text after the first slide (I was still clicking the pump and didn't realize one more click was going to skip through); I have not been able to get the applet to rewind back to the beginning.

This is great, but I really thought it was going to go from crude oil to refinement to data centers to LLM tokens to explain every software developer’s job!

Hello y’all as the post says, certainly a novice stepping into y’all’s space, but I am passionate that we can use the newest form of coding to allow us to change the way we teach. I think it’s a different way to use AI to teach, not having it explicitly do the teaching, but a way to extract context from different backgrounds into more fun learning tools.

I just want to say that despite the AI negativity in other places, this highlights the positive aspect of it. I'm sure this could have been done without it, but I'm glad OP could get it out faster for a low-risk use case, shared it with us, and in the process taught a little bit of refining to others. It's a fun minigame.

I think it would be great if the game also talked about various negative externalities at different points in the process (pollution, etc.). IMO would go a long way in making the game more well-rounded, and would add more varied content.

Phase 1b: The Desalter doesn't show anything on the grid in Firefox (v148.0.2), so you automatically lose.

Great to see a spiritual successor to SimRefinery[1] after all these years!

Great little education game. Sulpher particles move really fast, might be worth slowing them down 20%. I was basically random clicking to get them.
It's very good and you can be proud. Your kids should be too!
Very cool stuff! Thank you for making.
Hi sorry do you have the code for this I have been delaying to work on something like this but would love to use this as boilerplate.
Thanks I really liked it and it taught me a lot
This is awesome
