   I’ve seen a few attempts at making procedural racing games based on street map data from Google Maps and other sources [1] [2], but because the maps are often imprecise from a collision standpoint, the results can tend to be pretty janky. U

   Nice job. I remember playing a top-down 2d game in the early [00]s with a similar premise but it was real-time. You had a limited amount of gas so you still had to optimize your route to finish as quickly as possible without retracing your

   Oh yeah definitely agree. I think one of the older tests for LTX and WAN text-to-video models used to involve having a person do a cartwheel or really anything that required putting them in a non‑upright orientation.

   I dug up a few old parody ideas I’d had back in high school and threw them at MiniMax M3 on my RTX. There’s definitely still a lot of jank once you move away from fairly normal scenarios. The moment you start to veer into weirder concepts,

   I just finished a loop generator program. I needed some sound effects (ambient noise, fire crackling, rain, waterfalls) but trying to hunt down perfectly seamless looping WAV files on the internet was fraying at my sanity. So I created a to

   Nice job. There was actually an attempt to build a physical, real-time chess prototype back in 2015 that you might also find interesting, called Dengekisen: Speed Chess . In that version, each piece had its own small cooldown timer that ha

    Nice job - seems like you put a lot of work into this. You mentioned Jolt as the physics engine, did you use a popular 3d engine (such as RavEngine, or Babylon) for the visuals? Small bit of feedback - consider taking a page from Blender an

    Nice job. Kinda reminds me more of BlitzBasic - a BASIC variant that simplified a lot of multimedia commands for graphics/sounds. One bit of feedback: consider adding a keyboard shortcut for running a program - a popular option in the

    Right? Space Cadet, Tempest 3000, One Must Fall 2097 - so much fire tracker/chiptune music from that era. This site's been around for a while and is really good as well (has a bunch of classic collections including High Voltage SI

    Definitely did - that MIDI file is etched into everyone's soul who played Space Cadet but this was early days, maybe it's possible the win9x machine you played on didn't have a sound card? EDIT: From what others have said it

    This is actually a web port of Space Cadet for Win 9x which has sort of a prerendered 3d look but is still basically a 2d table, as opposed to stuff like Pinball Arcade or the FX compilations by Zen. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

    Agreed. I don’t mind having to use a hint book or look things up on GameFAQs, but if, even after that, the solution to a puzzle still makes me go, “How the hell would I ever have figured that out?”, then that’s profoundly unsatisfying for m

    For any LLM with web tool usage I’ll often suggest that it pull relevant papers from arXiv, with an expectation that it cite sources. I find that this helps improve accuracy and lets me go deeper into the material if I want to.

    Nice. Oh yeah for sure that makes sense. I also think of the locking in a limb to play a preset "pattern loop" is also really similar to juggling which is something I enjoy. Just a lot of overlap in general!

    Thanks! That proverbial “last mile” is honestly taking the longest amount of time. Even the subtle details are things my OCD insists on getting done right like reproducing VGA’s 9-dot text rendering, where 8-pixel-wide code page 437 dos tex

    Nice. I experimented with automated cruciverbalism in the pre-LLM era, and it was a pretty good challenge especially for strict NYT-style crosswords, which maintain aesthetically pleasing symmetry in the puzzle layout. Looks like we actuall

    Sure I agree - I just think you'd be better served by calling it "BASIC", since its more representative of what you're trying to achieve. The problem with calling it QBASIC is that anyone who grew up using the Microsoft

    Sure. Honestly I'd advise renaming it to "BASIC" compiler though. I threw a couple more QBASIC programs at it and it blew up on almost all of them.
