It’s november, and I’ve decided this month that I’m going to do 30 projects in 30 days. It’s an all-month hack-a-thon!
This is November 30th, so this will be the last project.
Today’s project is Hack-An-MMO (demo, source). It’s a small collaborative art RPG. You can draw people, places, and things to populate the tiny world. Have fun!

Today’s project is Hack-An-Adventure (demo, source). It’s a coloring book. It’s designed to be relaxing.

Today’s project is Hack-A-Snake (demo, source). Yesterday I wrote a game where an AI plays snake. Today I thought, hey, I should release that with keyboard controls so people can just play Snake.

Today’s project is Hack-A-Minigame (demo, source). It’s the classic Snake, but the twist is you can only save and load the game. Rather than controlling the snake, it moves at random under AI control. You have to repeatedly save and load to make progress.
Credit to Jeff Lait’s “Save Scummer” 7-day roguelike for inspiration. Although actually, this whole minigame is mostly for a future project!

Today’s project was Hack-An-Experiment (demo, source). It’s designed to present the basics of experimental algorithmics, while also getting me acquainted with d3.
I have to say, I keep seeing d3 sold as a “graphing” library. And it’s definitely not. Maybe you could write one on top of it.
Thursday’s project was Hack-A-Clock (demo, source). It is a decimal time clock, displaying the time in revolutionary french time (minus their weird calendar).
This is another “phone it in” project but I think it would have been okay with more accompanying explanation and better styling.

Wednesday’s project was Hack-A-Link 2 (demo, source). It’s an open link directory.
This was very much a “phone it in” project. I do think it could have been better if I had added descriptions, too.

Today’s project is Hack-A-Hell (demo, source). It’s a bullet hell game combined with a music visualizer.
I’m happy with this one, although it took way too long given yesterday’s project! I keep thinking I’ll be able to modify or re-use things quickly, and it’s not true.
P.S. Taking the next day or two off for thanksgiving

Yesterday’s project was Hack-A-Battle (demo, source). It’s two dueling music visualizers (sound warning!). Red vs blue. As each hits the other with bullets, they lose heath. As a band takes damage, it gets dimmer and quieter. Eventually one band will win out and be the only one playing.
I thought this was a cool idea, but I’m not really happy with the implementation

Today’s project is Hack-A-Hang (demo, source). It’s a place to hang out. It has text chat, video, and audio.
Hack-A-Hang is NOT WORKING.
Unfortunately while everything works great on my machine, there’s a bad problem in production, and I ran out of time on this one. I’ll try to get it fixed before the end of the month if it’s easy.
Hoo boy, this was one of the technically hardest ones so far. WebRTC is no joke. And not hard in a way where you have to think, hard in a way where the debugging tools are terrible. (Drag and drop was another tough one)
