The Dollar Game
I recreated the game from the video from Numberphile*, it is not quite done but I made the MVP available here.
Rules:
- Keep clicking the nodes until there are no more nodes with negative values.
- Distribute sends 1 to all nodes connected to the node clicked and subtracts the sum from it.
- Collect subtracts 1 from each node connected to the node clicked and adds the sum to it.
You only need your mouse to play.
By pressing the Distribute/Collect button you change the way of interaction with the Nodes.
Pressing the settings button brings you back to the main menu.
Check out the repo on github, if you want to see how the graphs are created:

Finally, there was no "You win" screen. I got all nodes to 0 or above, and the game did not notice any change in state. I could no longer change values of any node, and it did not register my success. On Medium.
Thanks for your Feedback.
As stated above this is just a Prototype/MVP, I am aware of the missing usability and features :).
The shift action is actually a thing I have not thought off and will definitely be added to the roadmap.
Ah. Sorry. I must have missed that in my haste to check out your game. My appologies.
I would love to have a shift key that would allow me to buy 10 at a time.
It's possible I'm not playing it to the best strategy, but I'd love to have to click less
