# Turn the Crank

> One dull job, made into a small points game played on a gumball machine. List the parts of a job you do over and over and the small treats you enjoy; tap each part as you finish it and balls drop into the glass; every full row of ten points earns a capsule you open with the crank.

## What is free
- The house game: each part scored 1 to 3 from its own note (worst, slowest, hardest, fiddly or hated = 3; quick, easy, fine or liked = 1; anything else = 2), treats as prize capsules and short pauses for the rest.
- The gumball machine: balls in each part's colour, rows, a crank, a clock, undo and a tally when you are done.
- Three samples that replay saved games, plus Markdown, CSV, JSON, SVG and PNG downloads.

## What is metered
- One task, make-a-game, on gpt-terra: a score of 1 to 3 for every part with a cheer for each, four capsules (one prize per treat, then pauses), an opening line and a kind stopping line. The page checks the reply against your own words.

## House rules of every game
- No streaks, no losing, no penalties, no scores to beat and no rewards for speed. Stopping early costs nothing.
- Never rush a part that uses tools, ladders, heat or cleaning products. Not health or safety advice.
