This includes console games on existing emulators, Flash games on Ruffle, classic games like 2048 and Snake on a small custom engine and open-source games ported to WebAssembly. Some engines are patched to support save/ load and resume. Porting is mostly about s/l, loading files, threads and display issues.

Last night, Elon Musk gave the people what they want: a car driving vertically up a multi-story ramp, launching off the edge, executing a mid-air "kickflip" over a lineup of Teslas, and landing via cold-gas thrusters. That's what the people want, right? "We were promised flying cars," sure, but isn't the operative word in that […]

This is something I've been playing with for the last couple days - an app I vibecoded to arrange oneshot LLM visual benchmarks without the need to write any code. I do it form my phone so the excellence of mobile UI is high in the priority list. It is inspired by Simon Willison's benchmark writeups[0], basically you can recreate them in one go. Besides text and images, it supports SVG outputs and whole static websites, which is where benchmarks get the most interesting. Additionally, I added the ability to alter chat history for the chat completion API, which I think is useful for model red…
Sudoku is short for "the digits must be single". I wondered if inverting this would work: "the digits must be repeated". And so, by swapping "doku" for "fuku", Sufuku was born. In short, instead of using numbers 1-9 for a 9x9 board, you use 2 twice, 3 three times, and 4 four times (for a total of 9). It plays differently from sudoku than I expected. I assumed it would be simpler, since you have fewer digits. But once I settled on irregular region shapes, I discovered that it can also be quite difficult. In sudoku you eliminate a number by placing it; in sufuku a number is only eliminated once…

I've been writing notes as plain text files since forever, and it occurred to me that note-taking could benefit from the typical features that a language server provides: clickable links, autocomplete, hover previews, formatting, diagnostics, refactoring, etc. So I built a little language server and a vscode extension which adds syntax highlighting. Note-taking now feels more like writing code, and I get to use my favorite vscode keybindings (vim). Feedback is welcome! Comments

Yeah I built this out of a silly idea a couple of weeks ago. You can change what the website shows. You may change minor things or add something completely new. It bascially works like that: 1. You claim a turn. If the queue is empty, you start right away. 2. When it's your turn, you copy a prompt to a web based AI or - more comfy - our local coding agent. 3. The AI will fetch the current status of the website and ask what you want to change. 4. You answer - and the AI gets back a JSON that you paste back to the website - or the coding agent POST it directly to an endpoint. 5. Submission will…

Hi all, With everybody (and especially companies) using AI agents, I have decided to work on a deterministic guardrail tool for AI agents. What does it mean?

Please, note that this is not a hardened sandbox. The tool can be bypassed by a capable person or process, since this is my first proof of concept. I would like to present it to the community and receive honest feedback (pros, cons, issues, concerns…

So I fell in love with Physics when I read Chaos by James Gleick and I didn't actually know how to program at the time but much of the book was rooted in the concept that chaotic non-deterministic behaviour can emerge from a few simple rules. Probably the best known example is the butterfly effect but there are many others. 20+ years later I am able to vibe code this app to visually demonstrate this simplicity and chaos. Would love to get some feedback on the app. Please be as honest as possible. Or just some chats about Chaos. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50117053 Point…
