Well, it hurts me infinitely more when I post a story, it goes on the front page and no one up votes it. My play bang bang against a neural network is the perfect example. I've submitted it kind 6 times (3 times linking the game, 3 times linking the source code) almost 0 interest. Makes me wonder if the project is week, the code is bad or anything worse...

It's probably just random, and/or timing. Making sure you time a post to align in the right magical way with the US timezones helps, but due to the volume, it remains random.

Just took a look at your submission. Here are a few things that might have caused low engagement. 1) Title could be better. It was the first time I've heard of Bangbang, I imagine the same applies to quite a few people. 2) The neural net might be impressive, but playing against doesn't give me a "wow".

  The neural network starts fresh at each game. I could upload a version with a pre trained one, but it would hit you as soon as it's turn, so no one would like that.

I just checked it out. I have no idea why others did not upvote, but here was roughly my take: - oh ok it’s gonna play some game called BangBang never heard of it but seems like it could be cool - oh there’s no info here about what makes this special. Well let’s just go play the game and see what the fuss is about - let’s see so I tap my screen and I shoot straight down. Opponent misses wildly. I’ll try long pressing, that looks like it’s probably how you aim the shot…oh nvm longpress just highlights the whole screen with no way to deselect. So now I have a slightly better idea what BangBang is but I don’t get why it’s an interesting game, and I can see that there’s a program that solves it but it doesn’t look any different than an iterative guesser. I’m not really motivated to dig into the code to discover what’s interesting here at this point. Hope you find that feedback helpful!

  Bang bang came with windows 3.11 I guess. Two cannons shooting at each other at an angle, first one to hit wins https://archive.org/details/win3_BANGBANG https://archive.org/details/win3_BANGBANG
