I made a coding challenge, vaguely tied up as a game. Your goal is to complete simple coding challenges, with a major twist--you only get one try. You can only hit RUN once. (Well, actually you can hit RUN more than once. But it gets marked as failed.)
It put together about 10 challenges, together with some story narration.
The game problems are now tested.
You can play online. The code is on github
Today I made a Go "screensaver".
You can see it online here. The source code is on github.
Games are taken from OGS, and played real-time. Provided are a selection of 1000 random games from OGS, a popular Go server. Games play in real time, the same as when they were originally played.
I made this to have a screensaver for my mantel.
Hope you enjoy.
Today I wrote a game called Little Herbalist. Or at least, I started to.
I'm pretty pleased with what I have--random ingredients appearing in various colors, which you can add to a brewing potion. The potion changes colors based on what ingredients you've added.
It's definitely not a complete game, and I'd like to work on it again another day.
You can play the unfinished game online or read the source code on github.
Today I mostly slept, but while I was awake I tried making an ai friend/boyfriend as an experiment. I spent a lot of time getting Pygmalion (an LLM based on LLaMA-2, which specializes in roleplay and narration) to run. At the end, it was underwhelming, at least what I could run locally. I get the impression the full version is a lot better.
Although this was a failure, Pygmalion was sponsored by spicychat.ai, which I found to be much better for creating AI companions. However be warned--the site is in general very NSFW.
Today I wrote a very small library for converting games to multiplayer. I was able to convert my Go game so you can play online with other players.
Go demo is here. 2p library source code is available as a gist, or you can view the go game source code.
Today I attempted to write a short D&D campaign using the Homebrewery. It was a total failure. I was incredibly tired, and didn't manage my time well.
I made my first android app today. It was terrible and I plan to never do it again.
It took me about three hours of trying to get the sample apps to run before I gave up and made something from scratch. Both involved heavy use of ChatGPT (not my usual flow).
That said, if you want an app that reminds you how to tie your tie in an easy step-by-step way, you can download the APK from my website, and I believe you should be able to run that on your phone.
I don't know how to easily share Android source code, so I won't.
Today I hacked together a simple but servicable Go game. It uses chinese scoring, and you have to manually mark dead stones at the end of the game. You can play a demo here. Source code is on github.
Right now you have to sit down with someone else to play. I plan to spend a day adding multiplayer to a few games, if I have time.
Can't Stop is a push-your-luck style dice game designed by Sid Sackson in 1980. I've found it to be fun on BoardGameArena.
I wrote my own version for hack-a-day. You can play online. The source code is on github.
I'm pretty happy with this one. I didn't get to online play or even AI opponents, but you can play on your own or against friends in the room.
Today I wrote a little game where you make food in a kitchen.
You can play here. Source code is on github.
This was so-so. I didn't have a ton of fun making it, and it's not that fun to play either. I spent way too much time with things like trying to get sprites to load, and not as much on making the game fun. I think it could be much better with another day or two of work (as usual for hack-a-day).
