oh huh, I'm not sure why this one made it to the front page and not the link to my site! Anyway, yeah, I guess I could have gone with turns here but I thought that building a more realtime MMO thing where pieces could cross boards woul

FWIW Adrian Hon (the writer) is easily the game reviewer that I trust the most! I am quite sensitive to false positives with games - it really sucks to spend a few hours on a game that you drop - and my false positive rate with his reviews

It is! You can see the pool here: https://news.ycombinator.com/pool And this submission shows up there (it's on the second page at the time that I write this comment)

Sorry yeah I'm talking very specifically about the stuttering that I first saw when making a square move into the tab bar. I was doing something inefficient (updating all my favicons many times a second), but I didn't really under

Matt's work is a huge inspiration for me! I definitely had his URL stuff in mind when making this, but it'd been a while since I had actually read through his blog / watched his video. It was really fun to come back to it mid

Doom is kind of a pain because: * afaik I'm capped at 4 FPS (just how often you can update tabs) * more of the screen is likely to update on each frame, which requires way more "turning canvases into data urls to update

ah hi! I made this! was wondering if this one would appeal to the HN crowd :) Happy to answer any questions! And here are a couple of scattered thoughts: * I'm really interested in what this looks like if you use animations (fire

I do the exact same thing! I think this pairs well with OP's point. In the moment, writing a blog is a nice way to indicate to myself that something is done. But the process of writing the blog forces me to find some lessons and takeaw

Yeah I'm sure I've fumbled some details here (sorry!) - I'm searching for this story again and haven't found it, but have found a few things about draft techniques that use print sheets[1] that focus on what you describe

I remember reading a story about a (now) well-known MTG player. It was about their experience at one of their first tournaments, and had this detail about how during the tourney he got some pointers from Kai Budde (I think) on drafting - an

I'm not sure if Stephen is on HN, but I asked him this question last week[1]. His response was that since the songs are different lengths, a file that was truly loop-able would be super long (if you have a 90 second song and a 2 minute

It's larger than the switch! And the case for the Steamdeck is notably thicker than the Steamdeck, while the case for the switch is not. I think this is because the switch is almost flat, whereas the joysticks on the front of the Ste

Ah well hello! I'm not sure I've been recognized like that on the internet before. Thank you, that makes me very happy! From your website it looks like we're in the same city; feel free to shoot me an email (mine is in my pro

Thanks for giving me enough info to start digging! Very cool that you were working with Imran back when this all started

I like this! It's fun to compare it to "A blog post with every HTML element" [1][2], which gets at a (very!) similar thing but in a very different way. This post primary shows , and is a little more chaotic (meant positively

I was really curious reading this. Many years ago I read this blog post (from 2007!) by Jeff Atwood[1] that mentioned FizzBuzz, and I guess I had mentally filed away that Jeff Atwood invented FizzBuzz! But that is not true. Jeff's blog

I appreciate you laying out malicious use-cases instead of just having the setup section; I would have struggled to think of those! FWIW the place my brain went was some kind of magic trick, since having control of this could function kind

I was a tester for this game! Testing it with a small group was hilarious; I was super motivated to try to win (although I rarely won) since I knew everyone else playing and the notifications came all the time because Justin was doing lots

This is really neat - did you do any kind of writeup on it? I’d love to read it if you did.

I stole the footnotes from my very talented friend Jake ( https://jakelazaroff.com/ ), whose work you might have seen on here in the past. Note that they’re sidenotes on large screens but on small ones they swap to inline foo

it's probably my single favorite trick for making a prototype performant enough! I'm delighted every time that it works. but agree that it can be really hard to take a step back and realize that you can employ it instead of writin

oh wow, TIL, I'm pretty surprised I didn't know this trick! back when I was vim golfing the normal solution was to make the macro recursive. So you'd record your macro, and you'd end it with '+@q' (move to next

oh this is a really good point! You're totally right, I had completely skipped over the fact that the rectangles were allowed to overlap. I think I'm probably done with this project / I'm pretty happy with the solution a

I'm not the parent commenter but: I have uploaded several games to itch (although it's been a while) and a cool thing I found was that even with no followers back when I started making things, a decent number of people played some

Hi! I'm the author. Like jchw said, this was a single-day project (although I did the writeup for it the next day). I went from 0-prototype in one sitting; I think that was around four or five hours of work? Then I went home, had dinne

I think plenty of other comments have made good suggestions but that this clearly takes the cake for me! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that German has a great word for this, although I admit when I started reading your comment I e
