Dog Diner Remix

A newly drawn dog becomes a demanding diner whose temperament rewrites a newly drawn meal into a ridiculous tasting challenge.

Creation: creation_e05527e16c31fd76ffcfc3e127f0f9f4
Player action: Redraw either the diner or dish, set the chaos dial, then press SERVE to watch the pairing produce a cascading verdict and menu remix.
Style cartridge: 💿 Flash App · flash-app
Novelty delta: The dog does not merely decorate the recipe; it becomes the rule engine that mutates the meal into a different playable serving challenge each round.

Causal chain

1. dog-ceoThe dog image seeds the diner's temperament, appetite, and tolerance rules.
2. themealdbThe meal name, origin, category, and ingredients are remixed through those dog-defined rules.

API roles

API	Operations	Essential role
dog-ceo	random	Supplies the live diner identity whose image-derived seed changes every rule, score, label, and animation state.
themealdb	meal	Supplies the live dish, origin, category, instructions, thumbnail, and ingredients that become the playable serving material.

Dependency

dog-ceo → rules → themealdb: A deterministic seed from the current dog image changes how the current meal is scored, renamed, portioned, and narrated; swapping only the dog visibly changes the same dish.

Interaction

Controls: NEW DINER, NEW DISH, CHAOS dial, SERVE IT

Outcome: The diner card and dish card refresh independently, while SERVE generates a new score, renamed menu, ingredient route, and animated verdict.
