    This was a lot of fun! I beat it in just under 30 minutes but lost to the new settlers. Thanks for sharing!

    Ask HN: Does ChatGPT Pulse provide value to you?

    I signed up for Pro recently, and now I get morning updates from GPT of random AI synthesis. Has anyone seen a valid use case for this where they saw something they otherwise would…

    This is awesome! I’m working on the Open Prompt Initiative as a way for open source to share prompting knowledge.

    That’s probably fair which is why I tried to be upfront that this is shilling. I figure some people might be like me, interested in sprites but not artsy enough to make them. You m…

    Like the comment above I split sprite sheets into grids with edges for NBP to follow. I have the option to add the canny edge map to the grid to enforce a lot of consistency as wel…

    Exactly! On my tool I specifically use 4x4 grids which is limiting and I use canny edge maps to help enforce consistency. A very fun problem to solve!

    This is 100% true for artists. But I am not an artist, and I like pixel art stylistically. So when I make sites or games, I need to either: use my bad art, hire someone on fiverr, …

    Ask HN: Is anyone vibe-coding in C?

    I very occasionally see blogs about this but I'm wondering if anyone has done actual production development.

    I'll shill this project again: I built myself a small sprite generator because I'm a terrible artist. If you're looking for pixel-art sprites, check out 8bitsmith.com. Or you can j…

    That’s a bit reductive. Some do, others don’t. I do a lot of AI development, and building. But I value the act of writing for clarifying my thoughts. And I value other people’s tim…

    I do agree it is one of those “if I had more time, I would write a shorter letter” situations. But in this case the piece is wordier than a bad human writer would be. If they want …

    I am strongly put off by the LLM writing in this piece. It makes me question quality of the project before even attempting a download. Who would put effort into building this only …

    We have been experimenting with adding Spacetime multi-player to our current threejs app. It was surprisingly easy to build the standalone demo but the full integration obviously i…

    I built 8bitsmith.com as a tool to make controlled sprite sheets. It was an experiment in vibe-coding and controlled asset creation, so pricing is basically a pass-through cost of …

    I built teach.af as a flipped classroom environment where students will “teach” AI bots to enhance their understanding of functional programming.

    I needed some pixel art for a different project, so I made 8BitSmith, a simple pixel art & sprite generator. I'm expecting it is pretty niche, but animations tend to be very time c…
