Body Controlled 3D Dino Game
Hey HN, I am Niko. I've built this 3D Dino Game In browser using tech like three.js and MoveNet (tensorflow). Basically, it's a normal 3D dinosaur game with a twist: you need to actually perform actions irl to avoid obstacles. Duck to crouch, jump to jump, raise left hand - go left, raise right hand - go right. Game is using your phone/laptop camera to track your body movements and perform in-game actions. PS. Game is 100% client side and I don't record/track/use/save any of your data Hope you find it worth playing. (better play on PC) It's a 100% FREE browser game with…

In plain words
Body Controlled 3D Dino Game is a browser-based dinosaur game that uses your device's camera to track body movements for gameplay. Players duck to crouch, jump to jump, and raise their hands to move left or right to avoid obstacles. Built with three.js and MoveNet, it runs entirely on the client side with no data collection. The game is free to play in a web browser without requiring login and works best on desktop.

Adjust these thresholds above to fine-tune the game controls. The hips (red dots on the video) should be above the baseline when standing, above the jump threshold when jumping and below the crouch threshold when crouching. Before starting the game, stand up straight with your body fully in the camera frame. After that wait for a few seconds for automatic calibration. (You can adjust the baseline, jump and crouch thresholds if needed on the left bottomfrom nicknaskida.github.io

Teaching a Dinosaur to Jump: Rust, WebAssembly, and Neural Evolution2025 · fulgidus.github.io · ▲8What began as a lightweight programming experiment quickly transformed into a deeply engaging technical exploration into the realms of neuroevolution, game physics, and browser-based simulation. My original goal was modest: replicate the "Chrome Dino" game using a performant and modern web stack. However, the project evolved far beyond expectations. The twist? I wanted the dinosaur to teach itself to jump.

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
