Arcade: Games for the Tesla Browser

Every game here plays in a Tesla's browser. Park, open the browser, go to arcade.luttrell.ai and tap a tile. No ads, no sign-up and nothing to install. They all work with a finger, and they work the same on a phone or tablet.

Built for the car screen

The arcade was designed for one screen: a big landscape display you tap at arm’s length, in daylight. The tiles are enormous, the contrast is high, nothing depends on hover, and there is no dense text to read. The games fit in as few rows as the screen allows, because height is what runs out first.

arcade.luttrell.ai opens straight to the arcade, so there is one short address to type on the car’s keyboard.

What's here

Board games against the computer, including chess with five opponents to pick from and a tic-tac-toe opponent that cannot be beaten. Games for two or more, played around one device or by link. Card, word and puzzle games, from Klondike solitaire with only winnable deals to a new Fragments board every day.

And two that are more Oklahoma than arcade: Moderate Risk, a storm-chasing board game, and SoonerCity 2000, a city builder set in Norman.

The games

  • Hangman — Hangman in the browser: 3,239 words in fourteen categories, each with its definition. CRUEL mode is evil hangman, and it never picks a word until it has to.
  • Tic-Tac-Toe — Tic-tac-toe against three computer opponents or a friend on the same screen. The top one, PERFECT, has solved the game: it cannot be beaten, only held.

  • Fragments — A Quartiles-style daily word puzzle: twenty letter pieces hide five long words. Join one to four pieces to spell words; longer words score more.
  • Sudoku — Free sudoku in the browser, no sign-up. An endless ladder of fresh puzzles, each one graded by the solving techniques it needs, not by its clue count.
