Impossible Machines prototype explores declarative programming for the physical world
What happened
On Oct 23, a Show HN post on the Hacker News front page introduced Impossible Machines, a prototype built by @bhaprayan. The project explores declarative programming in the physical world: users describe the result they want and the mechanism is generated automatically. The prototype has three challenge levels, "Detour", "Beat the Brakes" and "Guided Steering", plus a Freeform bench for building freely, with operations such as moving water tanks, placing obstacles and changing shapes. The reports show the prototype, its challenge levels and the free-build mode.
