#62All: it's not clear yet whether we should have "Screenshot Saturday" and "Idea Sunday" as regular features, or whether they should be weekly if we do. Happy to hear arguments pro and con, though perhaps not in this thread. (Edit: On second thought, we might as well discuss it here and keep it at the bottom.) If are going to have these regularly, we'll ask the whoishiring account to post them automatically. That's the…
One pro argument is that if the quality of these goes down hill they will fail to make the front page anyway, so what's the down-side?

#63http://imgur.com/ax8oMxe A semi-social stat tracking website for DOTA players. More advanced statistics than gathered by DOTABUFF, but those aren't shown in the screenshot.
Thats actually pretty amusing, though I can't help but wonder whether it will only be convenient if actually integrated into DOTA/Facebook etc. At the moment, isn't it just DOTA: Stalker?
I'm really not sure. It emerged from a few of my friends noticing that we often check each other's DOTABUFF pages, especially after a few of us moved to the opposite coast. I suppose it's basically just DOTA stalking at the moment.
That's also a potentially interesting title... DOTAstalker.

A utilty for finding and exploring internal rhyme schemes in poems and songs. I made this in order to better show people just how complex a rap artist's rhyme combinations can get. This was created with CMU's pronunction dictionary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMU_Pronouncing_Dictionary)
The screen shot shows a subset of the rhyme combos found in the Eminem song 'Lose Yourself'. You can view my work in progress online at http://reasonedrhymer.com (Click on a combo or word to filter the results)
What I wanna do eventually: - Permalinks to analysis for specific songs (and which current combo's are being viewed in that song) - Speed up the core algorithm - Allow people to add new words to the pronunctiation dictionary - Move away from the barebones bootstrappy look - Explain the process visibly on the site

#65Life Goes On! A game, built in Unity, about sacrificing knights and using their dead bodies to solve puzzles. http://i.imgur.com/qeuo84C.jpg http://i.imgur.com/g1oFM31.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7PoX6th.jpg This game started at a game jam two years ago. It became an evening and weekends hobby, then it became a full commercial release, and we just launched on steam. ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/250050/ ) I thought…
Any advice on getting started with Unity? I've always tried to start a weekend project and get inevitably get bogged down in the details of Unity/Mono.
We started by hacking up the 2d platform sample game project that Unity bundles. Getting started was a bit rough, and the results from the first weekend were pretty buggy. Once we got to know Unity we were pretty happy with the decision though.
I'm sure that there are good resources for getting up to speed quickly, but unfortunately I don't have any recommendations for how to do it.
One suggestion that I can make is to stick to C#. Unity offers "Javascript", but Unityscript isn't really Javascript, and is more headaches than it is worth in my experience.

I suspect that's wrong and that they'll make it to the front page regardless.

#69Just doing a little Saturday afternoon verilog. http://i.imgur.com/gkB6FMh.png
I'm not sure this is what ESR meant with Linus's Law when he said "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" [1]
Re: Ask HN: Screenshot Saturday
#70In early March I whipped up http://Listen2EDM.com because I was tired of searching for new music manually through SoundCloud, GrooveShark/Spotify still sort of required discovery, and Pandora just didn't fit my personal pain-point. While social media stats are meek, it's averaging about 32000 minutes played back each day (~400 uniques/day; ~2000/week). This has motivated me to develop it further and make the UI a bit…
I'll check yours out later, but have you tried Slacker? I got tired of Pandora because it tended to get too repetitive longer-term, but Slacker seems to have stations controlled by actual DJs that rotate new music in and out.
