Show HN: Below the Root (1984 game) ported to JavaScripthttps://below-the-root.saul.pw
As a kid, I loved this relatively unknown game, Below the Root. The world-building of the original trilogy of novels from the 1970s, is lovingly carried through into this side-scrolling "platform-adventure". You can play the IBM PC port of this game online fairly easily, but the quality of the C64 version is much better (non-dithered graphics, better colors, polyphonic sound). However I found there was a lot of friction to just play the C64 version. So back in 2013, I tried restoring and packaging the C64 version of the game to make it just one step to play. I made a bootable x86 ISO with a L…
Show HN: A mecha game where you and your friends pilot the SAME giant robothttps://www.mecharoyale.com
2 months and 3,000 prompts later, we have Mecha Royale (mecharoyale.com) It’s a browser-based battle royale with 100 mechas fighting across one massive map. But the part I’ve been having the most fun with is squad mode where you and your friends climb into the same mecha. One person can pilot it while your teammates control different weapons. So you’re basically yelling at your friends while trying to operate one giant war machine together as 99 other mechas are trying to kill you. I built most of the game with Claude Code, including a lot of the multiplayer infrastructure behind it. St…

The thing uses DuckDB as the underlying data store. All of my side projects are now Golang + SQLite. I wanted an easy way to just add basic traffic analysis without needing to sign up for or integrate a third party option.

Hi HN! I've been building a no-code tool for authoring and running API integration tests called 1Baton. I work with APIs on a daily basis, building and testing them. In the services I work on, a single API endpoint often represents only a small action in a larger process, so testing a complete flow usually means calling several endpoints in sequence. When I started testing these flows, I found myself spending too much time setting up and reusing the same multi-step processes across different tests. I wanted to define a flow once, reuse it as a building block, and avoid having to manually main…
