Autopilot for my little HTML game called Andromeda Invaders
The entire game is implemented as a single HTML page, so it is easy to read the source code of this game and that of the autopilot by viewing the source of the page. For convenience, here is a direct link to the autopilot source code: https://github.com/susam/invaders/blob/0.9.0/invaders.html#L...
Autopilot for my little HTML game called Andromeda Invaders launched on May 15, 2024 with 52 votes, #649 of 4,539 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Autopilot for Andromeda Invaders is an automated player for a browser-based space shooter game built entirely in a single HTML page. The autopilot source code is accessible directly within the game's HTML, making it straightforward for developers to study the implementation. Players can examine both the game mechanics and the autopilot logic by viewing the page source, with the code organized in a readable, self-contained format.

I built an autopilot for the lunar lander game2023 · szhu.github.io · ▲277I got pretty good at (and very addicted to) the lunar lander game from a few days ago... so I decided to make an autopilot for the lander based on what I felt like was the best strategy! Now I can have perfect landings every time without lifting a finger :D Writing the autopilot code was a lot more fun than I expected! It felt a bit like programming a robot.

I've posted this game here before, hopefully a repost is fine as the game has changed quite a bit (improved AI, improved mapeditor, much quicker gameplay, etc). Game is based on JavaScript/Canvas and WebSockets. On the browser side the map is pre-rendered (as a background image), just the mobile units/buildings and animations are dynamically rendered. The lobby server is made in node.js, but the game server is C++ for performance reasons (mainly the pathfinding). I found the C++ WebSocket libraries out there to be too difficult to use so I made my own based on the rfc. Overall I…
Notte Browser Agents2025 · notte.cc · ▲275Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
