I'm working on a local multiplayer Zombie Platformer called ZombieRun. It's retro style game with the aim to remind us that gaming is the most fun with your buddies in the same room with you. It allows up to 4 players play as on team or against each other. Living dead, guns and superpowers that's what's ZombieRun is all about.

I'm working toward releasing the game in the end of summer for PC-s and a few months later on Android.

SiteBox -- for website in a box -- is software that will allow users to quickly create a website. Think of it as wordpress.com but where each site has an integrated wiki. SiteBox uses markdown as its markup language. People will also be able to run SiteBox on their own PCs to use as a personal wiki. Or to have offline backups of wikis on the net that can be easily resynced. People will be able to collaboratively writ…

Is it this site? http://www.sitebox.com/

No, that's something else. SiteBox is my internal code-name; when it's released I may (probably will) use something else.

Here's my weekend project: http://deja-entendu.zomg.zone

Basically it accesses your last.fm profile to get a list of songs you listened to one/two/etc years ago and assembles a corresponding Spotify playlist. I've been pretty diligent in tracking my played tracks on last.fm, and it's neat to jump back in time to see what I listened to back then. If you don't use last.fm, you can try it with my account (last.fm data is public): http://deja-entendu.zomg.zone/morsch/5y-ago

80% of the motivation is having an excuse to try out Scala's Play framework. :)

I am working on a visualization of 60k USGS historical maps that are rendered on the fly from geoPDF, which makes the server size under a TB. pdfl, c++, spdy, openlayers https://demo.northavenue.net

Nice project! 5 minute grumpy feedback: I don't like "flat design", maybe add some subtle color changes at least? For example highlight the text "Go" (I would suggest "Search" or "Locate" rather) to make clear it is clickable. The text in the search box first made me thing it was active, not sure how to solve that, a lighter color might be too light. I am on a small screen, the map is limited to a rectangle in the mi…

Thanks a ton for the feedback. This version is a somewhat handicapped version I could share, as the cart process is not ironed out. The only thing I am thinking with the cart is for large bulk downloads in a zip file, for a fee. Trying to solve the USGS discovery and download process.

If your email is good on your profile I will shoot you a note when it is closer to prime time ready.

Also I should test on opera once in awhile.

Customized Cookbook

=], I have a cookie/muffin recipe generator. Instead on a cookbook with limited recipes, the generator can be customized (produces recipes based on a user's preferences).

Baked Goods are grouped by type (e.g. chocolate chip cookie). The generator generates a unique recipe each time you click on a type of cookie/muffin.

I'm designing the future of communication. A few related topics: - Semantic Web - Internet of Things - UI/UX - Knowledge Representation - Big Data - Smart Contracts Evoluton of communication: - Facial emotions - Sign language - Verbal communication - Writing - Printing - Photography - Telephone - Radio - Television - Computers - Internet - Smartphones - ... <- What I'm working on

you seem like the kind of guy who'd be asking for someone to simply build the future of communication for you , for only 50% of equity.

I don't get why people are reacting that way. I'm completely serious.

just recently launched a service that will let you create interactive dashboards (pivot charts) off of your excel files. Got a huge influx of beta sign ups from HN and ProductHunt.com.

Perfect summary of your product. 10/10 How is it different than Splunk and Tableau products?

I like this.
