An esoteric language designed so coding agents cannot write it

Ten minutes of play makes the trade-off between hand-writing, generating and reviewing code under a deadline more vivid than any essay on the subject.
Sloptris is a free browser game that replays AI-assisted development as Tetris. Each piece is a ticket: you can build it by hand, which is slow and safe, or have the AI generate it, which is quick but may mutate after it lands, more so the more you generate in a row. Spending time on review shows you the mutation before it happens. You have a sprint timer and a line quota to meet, with arrow or hjkl keys to steer. Developer educator Tony Alicea made it as satire about risk, reward and pressure in agentic coding, and is weighing a skill-atrophy mechanic suggested on Hacker News.
