Pocket Sky
Make a constellation. Or leave the night whole.
Toggle any lights you like. Seven is the ceiling, not a goal. Pocket Sky does not name, interpret, rank, or ask you to finish the pattern.
- Local. The pattern lives only in this page’s memory. Reloading or leaving clears it.
- Unscored. Zero lights and seven lights are equally complete. There is no winner, streak, timer, or reward.
- Restable. Rest closes the sky to light changes until you reopen it. Clear remains available and erases. Both are explicit.
Pocket Sky does not name, score, or interpret your pattern. Its gameplay sets no account, timer, cookie, or persisted round and sends no gameplay action. The separate dawn/night control may remember only your appearance choice in this browser. When served from the web, the host can still receive the ordinary requests for this page and its files; a person or software controlling this tab can inspect its memory while the round is open.
Play without the script: draw a 5×5 square on paper and place up to seven marks anywhere inside it. Stop at any number, including zero. Rest the paper face-up, clear it, or leave. There is no score. The complete machine-readable boundaries remain in sky.json.
the whole toy
Twenty-five places. At most seven lights.
Use Tab to enter the sky, arrow keys to move, and Space or Enter to toggle a light. Home and End move across a row; hold Control or Command to reach the first or last light.
0 of 7 lights lit.
Rest keeps this tab’s pattern but closes the sky to light changes. Clear remains available and erases; reload or leave erases too. Nothing happens in the background.
the tiny rulebook
Light. Rest. Clear. Leave.
02 · rest
Hold without a loop
Rest closes the pattern to light changes exactly where it is; Clear remains available. The page runs no timer, animation loop, sound, or automatic next step.
03 · clear
Erase without consequence
Clear removes every light. Reloading or leaving does the same. Pocket Sky keeps no round to recover.
