BoatSprint

What it does

BoatSprint is a side-view physics driving game where the terrain is alive. Every course is built from stacked, rolling sine waves that push, shove and occasionally launch your boat into the stratosphere. Sail through 30 seas and 150 maps, from sleepy sunny isles to thunderstorms that strike your engine mid-jump, caves with ceilings, wind farms, fjords and worse. Earn stars, unlock bigger hulls, bolt on ridiculous engines, and try very hard not to meet the naval mines.

BoatSprint — a 2D physics boat-racing game. Full throttle, big waves, questionable decisions.

Full throttle. Big waves. Questionable decisions. A 2D physics boat-racing game where the sea is the boss. BoatSprint is a side-view physics driving game where the terrain is alive . Every course is built from stacked, rolling sine waves that push, shove and occasionally launch your boat into the stratosphere. There are no health packs and no brakes worth mentioning. Your boat is a real floating body : five points of buoyancy, planing lift, a heavy engine hanging off the back, and physics that absolutely will flip you over if you get greedy on a crest. Sail through 30 seas and 150 maps , from sleepy sunny isles to thunderstorms that strike your engine mid-jump, caves with ceilings, wind…from boatsprint.com

  Hi HN! I built a 3D arcade racing game in HTML5 using PlayCanvas. It features arcade-style physics inspired by OutRun, with PS1/Dreamcast-style graphics. The multiplayer is asynchronous: you race against the “ghosts” (replays) of up to 7 other players, and after finishing a run you can share a link with a friend so they can race your ghost 1v1. The game currently has 20 tracks, plus a “daily challenge” mode with procedurally generated tracks. We’ve tested it on both desktop and mobile. It supports touch and keyboard controls, though I personally prefer playing with a keyboard in…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
