About the project
A free cartoon browser game about how the internet really works: lay fiber and subsea cables, peer at IXPs, bill on the 95th percentile and survive backhoes, sharks and route leaks on your way to Tier 1.
Useful for
- Play a browser game to learn how peering, transit and 95th percentile billing work
- Simulate subsea cable cuts and route leaks to see how traffic reroutes
- Run the game locally with npm run dev to modify or extend it

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 29, 2026, 00:56 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:03–00:47: 121 → 121 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +18 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 121 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #162.
- Hacker News: “Series of Tubes – Build the Internet, One Tube at a Time” — 7 points, 2 days ago.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
