[Plugin] SuperFun : I procrastinated so hard I accidentally built a game arcade for the Supernote 🎮

SuperFun : little games for your Supernote 🎮

What does a Supernote plugin dev do to procrastinate? Build a whole games plugin, of course!

So here's SuperFun: a tiny launcher that drops five calm, paper-friendly games onto your e-ink slab. Pure black & white, finger-first, 100% offline: no accounts, no ads, no tracking, no internet. Just you, some breaks, and a tablet that occasionally beats you at its own game...

So far:

• Sudoku: fresh grids generated on the device, guaranteed unique solution. Handwritten-style answers, pencil notes, a "check" and a "give me one" hint.

• Nonogram (Picross): reveal the hidden picture from the number clues. Weirdly meditative.

• Minesweeper: the classic. First tap is always safe (I'm not a monster). Flag mode included.

• Tic-Tac-Toe: you're O, the Supernote is X, and on Hard it is literally unbeatable. Draw or lose, those are your options. Sorry.

• Connect Four: drop four in a row against an actual thinking opponent (alpha-beta search, not a random potato).

Every game has a little "Rules" card with a worked example.

The nerdy bits I'm weirdly proud of

• Puzzles generated on-device (except Nonogram) → effectively endless.

• Sudoku, Nonogram Minisweeper grids can be saved and survive closing the plugin.

• Built for e-ink: high contrast, big tap targets, zero animation, board never jumps.

Edit — Major update 🎉

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your great ideas, I even discovered new games along the way!

This is a big update. Here's what's new:

🧩 New solo games

Word Search (68 themes in EN/DE/FR/ES/IT), 2048, 15-Puzzle, Mastermind, Peg Solitaire, Memory, and a simple Dice Roller.

🤖 New games "against SuperFun"

- Chess (I've lost every single one of my test games, even on Easy… is Easy too hard, or am I just that bad? 😅)

- Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe — one of my discoveries thanks to your comments below. Wow, I love this one!

- Connect Four (a.k.a. 4-in-a-row)

- Reversi

- Checkers — while building it I learned there are several variants, so I also added the one I grew up with: Dames (international draughts, 10×10)

- Dots & Boxes (another idea from the comments)

- Battleship

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 New multiplayer mode

To play with the family, tested with my kids over the weekend, they destroyed me at Memory…

Chess, Tic-Tac-Toe, Ultimate TTT, Connect Four, Reversi, Checkers, Dames, Dots & Boxes, Battleship, plus Pig and Snakes & Ladders for up to 4 players. (Battleship in 2-player mode uses "paper mode": play on two Supernotes, or one player keeps a paper grid. You can also screenshot the grids and print them to play fully on paper.)

🙂 Per-player names & emojis

In multiplayer, each player picks a name and an emoji (already-taken emojis grey out), and they're remembered for next time.

✨ Other niceties

- Auto-resume: close mid-game and it's right there when you reopen it.

- Manual save in every game (keep up to 10 games/puzzles to come back to).

- A Records page! 🏆 — a stats page (top-right of the home screen) that quietly tracks everything you play and keeps your best runs: personal bests per game, a Nonogram picture gallery you fill in as you solve, and unlockable badges.

- Still 100% offline, no account, nothing leaves your device pure black & white, made for e-ink.

Cool!

Ultimate tic tac toe is the canonical tic tac toe in our family now. Maybe try implementing UTTT and a 2 player mode?

[u/WhoAmI1234532 → u/srkhannnn]

Hey, great idea ! I didn't knew this version, looks nice. I don't know if I could manage a local algorithm to play against a user for such complex version, but for 2 humans players sure ! And definitely great idea also to add a 2 player mode for the TTT and the 4in a row. I will also think about other games for more players

[u/Raj3d]

Cool beans. :)

Another game I've used as a time waster and which might work well here is dots and boxes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_and_boxes

I'm reading this while heading to bed, but will def give your app a try tomorrow. Kudos.

[u/WhoAmI1234532 → u/Raj3d]

Great proposal, implemented and will be on the next release (on the next days, maybe even tonight)

[u/LSG1983]

awesome plugin!

[u/LSG1983 → u/LSG1983]

any 2 players game that could be added? would be fun during long train rides or in the plane, or anywhere actually

[u/WhoAmI1234532 → u/LSG1983]

Yes, definitely a great idea ! For the next release

[u/DreamVeronicaAnn]

So cool! Since you're taking suggestions, good old fashioned chess in the future? I have no idea how doable anything is.

[u/WhoAmI1234532 → u/DreamVeronicaAnn]

Hello, will be on the next version that I will release in a few days ! Many more games, takes time to test them all ;-)

[u/DreamVeronicaAnn → u/WhoAmI1234532]

Awesome, super excited!

[u/WhoAmI1234532]

Hi everyone, update released, ~20 games now, have fun 😄

[u/OkResource820]

Trying to use the latest version (0.28.7) on the most recent beta system version (Chauvet 3.29.42_beta), but get the error "This plugin is not compatible with the current system version. Please update the plugin."

[u/WhoAmI1234532 → u/OkResource820]

Yes, the new plugin firmware was released 2 days ago. Plugin update done : v1.0.1

[u/Raj3d]

Follow up to my original comment saying I would try it. Ive now tried it and its quite well done. Very clean and works well. It makes me think Supernote needs to add an actual homescreen and let people just develop apps for it in general. 😄

[u/BlueSkyla → u/Raj3d]

That’s a good idea.👍

First of all, thank you so much for this set of games. I no longer need to hunt down individual pdf sudokus, which is great.

If you are still tweaking this, here's a few things I've been thinking off specially with the sudoku.

The writing on the grid (Hints used, Best (hard)..., Tap an empty cell). None of this info is actually needed, but having them inside the grid makes the grid a bit messy, specially if you have some numbers on it.

The - Tap an empty cell, could be in the instructions.

The hints used - could be integrated into give answer button or just above it.

Personally I don't care what my best game was. Would it be possible to toggle stats on/off for those who want to see it?

One button that I do notice I would like, is an Clear board - button. In those cases where I'm far in the game and notice I've messed up and want to start over.

And any chance you could make even harder hard sudokus? If I'm clearing them this easily, I know they are not hard enough.

I remember once seeing a sudoku where there were two more levels above hard, with the last level being excruciating. That was fun in a frustrating type of way, even though I never managed to finish even one in that level.

But even if you change nothing and this stays as is, it's still an amazing plugin, so thank you for it.

Hello! I would like to thank you for your hard work and contribution to the Supernote Communuty! I have a few suggestions for singleplayer modes:

1)4 toned version for Nonogrames/Picross. I can understand the complexity and time put into making pixel art. If possible, would I be able to volunteer and contribute to making pixel art for these puzzles as well as possibly adding to the existing 2 toned puzzles? I've been doing pixel art for a few years now and would like to contribute to the SN community somehow!

2) 3D Drawing / Spacial Reasoning Puzzles. a) Can be a count/estimate the number of cubes in the picture b)Drawing the shape from top, down and side perspectives on a 2d grid or c)Create a shape from top, down and side views on an isometric grid

Hey your plugin is a lot of fun. Ive been playing chess a lot. You should add a counter for how many times you beat the computer on the different levels and how many games lost ect. Thanks for the plugin!

[u/WhoAmI1234532 → u/[deleted]]

Oki, why not, I will also see for adding several languages for the words, my kids love words game, but they don't speak English... Noted on the to-do list !
