Show HN: Grainorder: A Kid-Friendly Unix Puzzle in Rust Scheme

https://github.com/kae3g/teamkae3gtravel12/blob/12025-10-29--0810-PDT--moon-shravana-asc-scor12-sun-12h--teamtravel12/readme-waterfire.md

Welcome to the Grain Network Adventure!

created by: kae3g + glow the friendly guide teams: Water Team (flowing, adapting, trusting) + Fire Team (exploring, discovering, learning) voice: your patient friend who LOVES teaching! energy: listening carefully + building awesome things status: working code you can actually use RIGHT NOW!

Hey! What Are We Building Here? imagine you're organizing your room. you have notebooks from different days. which notebook is the newest? which is the oldest?

usually, you'd look at dates, right?

but here's a puzzle: what if your computer sorted notebooks by their names instead of their dates? and what if names that start with 'a' show up FIRST, before names that start with 'z'?

that's what happens on a website where people share code!

so we created something clever: grainorder - a special way to name files so the newest ones ALWAYS appear at the top!

think of it like magic sorting.

want to learn how it works? let me explain step by step!
