Neal Agarwal , who develops various playful websites, has released a free browser game `` Infinite Craft '' that combines the four elements of fire, wind, water, and earth to create various substances. By repeating transmutation, the number of substances that can be used for the next transmutation increases rapidly, making it a deep game that allows you to transmute all sorts of things, such as 'Rainbow' and ' Leviathan .'

You can start playing Infinite Craft right away by accessing the top page .



Easy to play. Simply drag and move the elements stocked in the tab on the right to the crafting zone on the left and combine multiple elements. There are four types of elements in the initial state: 'Water', 'Fire', 'Wind', and 'Earth'. First, let's place 'Water' in the craft zone.



Next, place 'Fire'.



You can create new substances by dragging an element and layering it on top of another element. This time, I will overlap 'Fire' with 'Water'.



Then, a new substance called 'Steam' was created. The transmuted substances are stored in the tab on the right and can be used for future transmutation.



With 'Steam' still in place, next time try combining 'Wind' and 'Earth'.



Then, 'Dust (Chile)' was transmuted.



Combine 'Steam' and 'Dust'.



With this, you have successfully created 'Cloud'.



When 'Earth' and 'Cloud' are combined, it becomes 'Rain'.



It is also possible to synthesize the same elements and substances. Let's overlap 'Fire' and 'Fire'.



Then, 'Volcano' was transmuted. Some people may wonder, 'Why does stacking fires turn into a volcano?' However, Infinite Craft uses the large-scale language model '

Llama 2 ' developed by Meta, so it can be used to create various materials by combining elements and materials. You won't know if it will work until you actually try it. Sometimes completely unexpected substances can be created from random combinations, making this a game that you can keep playing for as long as you like.



Sometimes the same substance is smelted from different formulations. For example, let's combine 'Mountain' created by 'Earth' + 'Earth' with 'Steam'.



Then, the same 'Volcano' that was transmuted with 'Fire' + 'Fire' was transmuted.



By combining 'Lake' transmuted with 'Water' + 'Water' with 'Volcano', 'Island' was successfully transmuted.



'Cloud' + 'Island' = 'Sky'



'Rain' + 'Fire' = 'Rainbow'.



As you increase the number of substances to be transmuted, you can compose increasingly complex transmutation recipes. For example, by transmuting 'Plant', which is transmuted with 'Water' + 'Earth', with 'Water', 'Swamp' is transmuted. It is possible to forge a 'Dragon' with this 'Swamp' + 'Fire'.



'Water' + 'Water' = 'Lake'. 'Lake' + 'Rain' = 'Ocean'. 'Dragon' + 'Ocean' = '

Sea Serpent '



'Plant' + 'Ocean' = 'Coral'. 'Coral' + 'Coral' = 'Reef'. 'Reef' + 'Sea Serpent' = '

Kraken '. There is also a recipe called 'Kraken' + 'Sea Serpent' = 'Leviathan'.



There is a thread about Infinite Craft on the social news site Hacker News, which says, ` `Lotus Flower + Mud = Buddha' ' and `` Dandelion + Engine = Helicopter.'' Various recipes for material refining discovered by users, such as ``Window + Dune = Sandwich'', have been released.
