I just wrote an online version of Set, a game of pattern-finding (and ultimately, math). There are instructions included.

While the game is totally JavaScript (runs in Netscape 4.7, and IE 5.5), it started out as a command-line version, in Perl. And I used GD::Image for the (pre-)generation of the images.

It's a fun game; I was taught it by a co-worker named Jes (who might be making an appearance here sometime soon, and who's probably coming up to YAPC with me). She's been using Perl for a while, and I'm helping her along.

UPDATE: if you find a bug, please email it to me; include your full browser name and version, and OS.
