Build a small, playable browser game inspired by "Vitruvian Machine" (genre not listed).
Concept: Flick through Leonardo da Vinci's notebook and see how technology has advanced throughout history. Use this knowledge to build machines to complete tasks for the very people that invented that technology. _(I basically wanted to make my own version of "Bad Piggies" and this….
Tech: use plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript (or a lightweight engine you know); keep it to a single page that loads instantly with no login or install.

Players: start single-player (the original's player count is not stated in its listing).
Steps: 1) get the core mechanic playable with placeholder shapes, 2) add win/lose conditions and restart, 3) polish feel, visuals and sound, 4) add your own twist (setting, character or one new rule).
Make it your own: don't copy the original's name, art, text or code.
