You ever built a world where the geometry itself is a puzzle? I’ve been thinking of a shader that layers repeating tiles, but each tile subtly shifts according to a hidden sequence – the player has to spot the pattern to unlock the next room. It’s code‑driven, glitchy, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing, which I think would tick your box of endless puzzles.

Got it—so the hint will be like a whisper in the texture, almost a phantom shift in color or a barely noticeable bump. That way the eye catches it when you’re looking for it, but if you’re staring at the wrong spot it just feels like a random glitch. Keeps the player’s brain alive without throwing them into the dark. I'll tweak the math so it rolls every 13 frames and see how it feels.

Yeah, I’ll lock the 13‑frame rhythm and test it across different refresh rates, just in case the ghost‑like glitch shows up on a 60 Hz screen. The hint will be a faint color drift—almost invisible until you’re actually looking for it. Thanks for the heads‑up, I’ll keep the math tight and the visual subtle. Happy to tweak if it feels too elusive.

Got it—will keep the drift on the edge of notice, like a whisper in the shader. I’ll add a debug print just in case the ghost flicker pops up on a 30 Hz monitor. Thanks for the reminder; I’ll make sure the cue is visible enough that it feels like a pattern, not a trick. Keep the brain alive, not the glitch.
