    This is a D&D map making tool I've been working on for a while now, but I just added some new features to the beta that I think HN users might find neat. When building a world map, you can use "Dynamic Brushes" to draw organic looking terrain. This is achieved entirely with svg filters and javascript canvas, no fancy libraries or anything. This came with a pretty large rewrite of some of the underlying code, so I'm sure there's a number of bugs I haven't come across, but I'd love to hear your opinions on it!

    The advancement of LLMs, and the profound changes that they have unleashed in the way developers approach coding tasks, feel at times like a tsunami. This came to a head when I realised that people trying to use my Javascript library for working with the canvas element were encountering a fundamental problem: LLMs simply don't know about, or comprehend, the purpose of the library or how to work with it to deliver projects/products. My solution to this problem is to document everything I can think of about the library. Maybe if I can get enough coherent data into future LLM training…

    Diceright is a virtual tabletop for playing dungeons and dragons with friends on the web. You can watch a quick overview of how it works here: https://tinyurl.com/diceright. And there’s a list of the main features right on the homepage. It’s a Ruby on Rails site that makes heavy use of action cable for keeping the maps and tokens in sync for all players. On the front end, I’m using HTML canvas for the maps and a js library called fabric.js for interacting with the canvas. Otherwise, just jQuery on the front end. I optimized it all to work on mobile too. I built this as a side…

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on DungeonLoot a passion project that’s not the usual SaaS or AI tool. The goal is simple: bring more loot to gamers, and help game developers get discovered in the process. Not the trendiest idea, but sometimes we just do what we like. Link: https://www.dungeonloot.com/ Let me know what you think.

    I just released my latest Godot project, a rhythm-based dungeon crawler a la Crypt of the Necrodancer. The entire game plays out in 16 x 9 pixels because of a dare from my game dev group. I've open-sourced (MIT) the code and project files. Of course, the music files I don't own aren't included in the Github project, but I'm releasing the game's hand-crafted pixel sprites under CC0. The Github page also talks about some of the tricks you need to make the rhythm part of the game play nice with the dungeon crawling part.
