It’s not exactly the same, but Zen Puzzle Garden (https://www.lexaloffle.com/zen.php) has been around since the 90s.

No surprise there.
I know we're all shocked that a 1-page web app with the author byline "Gwern, Claude-5.5-opus" (and matching HTML metadata) may have had LLMs involved; good work by Pangram there exposing the imposture.
That aside, did you enjoy the game?
Yeah that’s why I said no surprise there.
Surprisingly deep and seems quite in line with the underlying concept of Zen gardens.
