Beauty Contest for Virtual Life - Digital Art Project (lurepet.com)

Hi, looking for your feedback on my first public project. The Idea: Every lurepet (big picture) that you see on the site has some "genes" and is drawn according to them. After the best lurepets are selected they can be bred to make children looking like their parents. This is going to be repeated to create more and more beautiful lurepets. And of course the reason to vote is to save the future humanity that is attacked by evil robots which has the only flaw - insane obsession with lurepets :) Implementation: The drawing logic which is 99% of all the logic, is written in Clojure. I'm very…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, looking for your feedback on my first public project. The Idea: Every lurepet (big picture) that you see on the site has some "genes" and is drawn according to them. After the best lurepets are selected they can be bred to make children looking like their parents. This is going to be repeated to create more and more beautiful lurepets. And of course the reason to vote is to save the future humanity that is attacked by evil robots which has the only flaw - insane obsession with lurepets :) Implementation: The drawing logic which is 99% of all the logic, is written in Clojure. I'm very glad that I chose it, because I can not imagine beeing so productive in developing and maintaining (!) complex domain logic in a more verbose language like Java. The web part currently is a set of static files: html, js and images. Cloudflare is used to CDN the static except the index.html. I hope that will help if there is a massive spike in traffic. The votes are processed from nginx logs in offline mode. The development took about a year. Hope you will like the lurepet drawings and help to select the best genes.

    A game fully contained in a link2022 · linkians.com · ▲7

    Hey HN, I made https://linkians.com which is a game where all the action and state is contained in the url. The game involves taking care of little pets (emojis) that live in your url bar. Kind of like tamagotchi or sims. Feed them, play with them, and watch out for enemies! There's no server, just emojis in the url and client-side logic. Any linkians url using the supported emojis is a valid game state so you can save your game, or type out your own url and send it to a friend. I'd appreciate any feedback.

    Please Review Our Project "1 Million Valentines"2013 · ▲5

    For fun this Valentine's Day, a couple buddies and I decided to play around with the idea of digital Valentines. We cranked out the project in the month of January as a "nights & weekends" project. We'd love any feedback in general! Our next step is to figure a way to seed this in key communities, to see if it has any chance of taking off. The URL is www.1millionvalentines.com (or www.1MVS.com). Thanks!

    I made ComfyUI nodes for virtual try-on using IDM-VTON2024 · github.com · ▲5

    Hey HN, 4 days ago I went through the impressive demo of IDM-VTON on HuggingFace. I found there was no ComfyUI adaptation of this new model. So I’ve implemented custom nodes in ComfyUI that allow anyone to perform virtual try-ons using IDM-VTON. Simply load an image of a model and a garment, and the node will generate a new image with the garment worn by the model. I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! Cheers, Tom
