Describe a game. Get a link people can play.
You write a sentence. Cartridge builds a small game around it and hands you a link. Playing is free. Keeping a cartridge and remixing it costs $6 a month.

a lighthouse keeper catching falling stars before the storm puts them out
Nouns become objects, verbs become rules. "Before the storm" set a timer. "Puts them out" gave the stars a fail state.

04 / Keeping a cartridge
Play for nothing. Pay to keep it.
Anyone can open your link and play. A free cartridge stays up for 7 days, then expires. Keeping it means the link stays, the scores stay, and other people can remix it. Cancel and your cartridges go back to being free ones.
