I'm writing a metroid-like game for Sega Genesis in C and 68k assembly. Probably nobody is going to play it.
It's the journey that counts sometimes. I'm yet to get to the assembly point myself.
/r/retrogaming would probably like it :P

Interesting! Have you seen https://pigeon.ly/ ?
I have, but briefly. This is solving a different problem. I was told today in discussing it with a peer that it's a "marketers dream." But I am not a marketer. Yes, this is me welcoming intros. :)
Do you have a landing page or signup thing yet?

#223Over winter break I made a multiplayer online Connect 4 game. The twist is, it's a single page app that doesn't use any JS tags. You can play it on my test server here [1]. Consider it a puzzle to figure out how it works. If you want to see the source, it's on GitHub here [2]. [1] http://45.55.194.211/ [2] https://github.com/pimlu/connect4
I see what you did there; very cute. :D
Also, kudos for sharing it via mysterious IP address. That kinda thing just isn't done that much any more :(

#224I've been having a great time the last few weeks working on a niche product database website for flashlights. Since my new operations engineering job has me moving away from doing web development full time, it's been a nice break and a good way to stay sharp on the application development side of things. https://github.com/flashlightdb/flashlightdb
I'm getting NXDOMAIN. :(

#225I have been writing a FAT32 driver to understand the FAT32 file system. It is very exciting as this is my first time I am dabbling with file systems. I will be porting this to my baremetal firmware for the MINI2440 SBC.
That's a pretty cool project
The idea to write a tiny modular driver came to me because of need. Sometimes developers do not need a write and simply need to read a file. Sometimes they want a very minimal read and then would like to write. This would be in case of storing ADC samples and then transferring it via a wireless interface or if a USB is connected they would want to mount the space as a drive.

100,000ft isn't even close to Low Earth Orbit. Isn't calling that a "satellite" mis-representation? :(
Good point, not really about altitude though (velocity). We're calling it a 'cube satellite' because of the form factor. Any suggestions would be appreciated! As an aside, I recently worked on an altitude control system for a weather balloon (like Project Loon) which is generally called an 'atmospheric satellite' even though it's not technically in orbit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_satellite
Guess it depends on the target audience. If you're launching cube-sat's to 100,000 ft for some pre-testing purposes, then "satellite" might make sense.
eg environment testing of cube-sat's at 100,000 ft, as part of their dev cycle prior to real (rocket) launch

#227An implementation of hyperorthogonal (aka ZigZag) data structures in Scheme [0], that respects the bottom-up, dynamic extensibility envisioned by T. Nelson. [0] https://www.github.com/jpt4/chanadu
I'm working on a related project that uses hyperorthogonal data structures to create better bookmarks: https://github.com/ixtechnology/z-mark
Full disclosure: nalck and I (jpt4) are both members of Ix Technology.

#228I've been having fun the last few months by creating and launching! The latest of which seems to have struck a chord: MailScope http://www.mailscope.io adds profile data to your existing mailing list. Why? Well, if you don't ask for firstname and lastname on signup, you'll get increased conversion. But if you then want to get increased open and click rates when you actually send email, you should start personalizing…
Really cool project.
Which other data fields do you offer besides names if any? zip? gender? age?
And what would be the price difference between name and any other fields?

#229I built a simple priority queue, the idea is to use it as microservice, now it works only in memory, but if people likes the idea I can improve the software and add features...
It is open source at github.com/siscia/numerino

#230Over the holidays I built a site which returns foods with the highest amount of a given nutrient. So for example you can get all the foods highest in potassium, vitamin d, iron, etc. http:/www.getnutrient.com
Why not using WolframAlpha? For example: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=food+ranked+by+potassiu...
