BongBong tank shooter game. My first game. I wanted to recreate a game that is kind of a mix between old Battle City (NES) and Dyna Blaster, which I used to play as a kid in the 90s. I wanted to have a game where you don't just have retro graphics and beautiful explosions with realistic physics, but I also wanted to capture map building and playing with your friends - locally and online.

I'm building it in Rust and Raylib, using modern agentic approaches. Both Rust and Raylib let me compile and run the game locally on Mac/Linux/Windows and in the browser via WASM. I've also managed to get it to run successfully on Apple iOS. I will likely venture into Android as well, as I want a game that works across platforms so people can play it regardless of their platform.

Any feedback whatsoever is greatly appreciated. :)

I’ve carried on working on my llm powered book recommendation engine, Leafle (try it out if you like! https://leafle.nanosheep.net ). Mostly this week I’ve been wrestling with a better solution to filtering openrouter providers because a common failure mode is getting stuck on one which is either very slow, or doesn’t actually meet the spec it promises in terms of tool calling.

I like seeing Serif fonts on the screen for some reason.

Love a serif (but then I miss writing my docs in latex so..)

Started a few different things: 1. A robotics information and news website. Any feedback is appreciated. https://robotica.dev/ 2. Applied DBSP theory to Postgres https://github.com/getravi/pg_dbsp and DuckDB https://github.com/getravi/duckDBSP . The idea is to have incrementally maintained materialized views.

I've been looking for a site like robotica.dev that pulls together news and events from multiple sources. The funding page is awesome and unexpected, a really useful mini-crunchbase for robotics.

An agentic system which scans a whole countries political decisions. Wrote a blogpost about it here: https://lorentz.app/blog-item.html?id=scanning-sweden

Reusable on any country's political system as long as they have legal mandates to keep political documents public (most of EU). Still a long way to go, but pretty in a pretty decent shape already. Wrote it for the Swedish election, but didn't get far enough for it to have an impact.

Will continue with for Finnish elections 2027 (on new domain).

I'm building an self hosted, privacy friendly attribution and marketing suite targeting mobile apps. The market is owned by a few, branch, appsflyer etc, and its impossible to become a new MMP without spending ridiculous ammounts on money on their platforms, so I'm trying to build something different, and more provacy friendly without reliying on them. https://grovs.io

To ensure your self-hosted solution doesn't rely on external tracking, consider adding a Telemetry Blocklist to block unwanted data collection. This is a free tool that can help you maintain user privacy. https://join.lightinthedarksolutions.com

- Nand2Tetris part 1. It is a project-oriented course from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (offered on Coursera) where you implement a whole 16-bit computer in a hardware simulator in a simplified HDL language, starting from a nand gate and ending with an ALU, RAM, CPU, program counter, and an assembler for the computer's assembly language. I only have two modules left before I finish part 1. In part 2 (which I di…

Nand2Tetris is great. Definitely one of, if not the, most impactful bit of education I’ve ever done it terms of knowledge imparted.

It would be great if these posting could have tags like below prefixed at the top by the poster. [HUMAN-CODE] - code written by humans [AGENT-CODE] - code written by Claude/Codex/Other agents out there [HYBRID] - Combination of Humans/Agents I would prefer to go through projects where people are writing code themselves. And this kind of tagging would help me filter through easily.

Please, yes. Half of the fun of being on HN was "Show HN: I made some random thing", which typically amounts to "look at what prompt I wrote" nowadays. I use agents every day, I'm not against it, but it completely changes the lens through which I view a project

But how would you know if someone was just lying when they added "[HUMAN-CODE]"?
