BoomBoats
Battleship, reborn in a neon voxel ocean
What it does
Battleship for iPhone where every hit earns another shot. Eleven power-ups, six hand-built voxel fleets, real-time 1v1 over Game Center. Free — no ads, no in-app purchases, no sign-up.
BoomBoats is Battleship reborn in a neon voxel ocean. Free on iPhone, with Android coming soon. No purchases and no advertising.
Place your fleet. Call your shot. Watch a voxel missile arc across a living sea and land — hit or miss — in slow motion. Every match is a 10×10 duel with real weather, burning wrecks and ships that actually sink. The rules your grandfather knew, rendered as a 3D diorama you can spin, zoom and blow apart. Drag, rotate and lock five hulls — carrier, battleship, cruiser, sub, destroyer — or hit RANDOM POSITION and get straight to the shooting. Pick a cell, press BOOM. The camera rides the missile up, over and down onto the target — then the world decides: splash, or fire. Hit and you fire again. Sink all five and the match ends on your own result card — Perfect, Flawless, Comeback or Last-Shot…from boomboats.com

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
