Build a Hooper

What it does

Build a Hooper gives everyone in the world the same thirteen rounds each day. A legendary team-season lands on the board and you take exactly one rating off one player — his three-point shot, his rebounding, his nerve — then the board spins again. Every attribute can only be taken once, so a round spent on the wrong one is gone for good. Then you spin the franchise you will play for, slot into their starting five, and watch 82 games decide whether the build holds up.

Play Build a Hooper free. Everyone gets the same thirteen rounds today: spin legendary team-seasons, steal one skill at a time, build a 13-attribute hooper, then simulate a full 82-game season. No signup, no download.

Everyone in the world gets the same thirteen rounds today. Take one rating off a player, thirteen times, then watch your build survive 82 games. Resets in --:--:-- Pick a player. You get one attribute from them, then the board spins. A legendary team-season lands on the board with its real nine-man rotation. Pick a player, then pick one of his ratings to take. Not his best one — whichever one you want. Thirteen rounds fills all 13 attributes. Every attribute can only be taken once, so a round spent on the wrong one is gone. Your build plays an 82-game season against the rest of the pool, and the report shows which pick carried it and which one cost it. Overall is a weighted sum, not an…from buildahooper.pro

  Hooper – AI-driven stats and highlights for basketball play2024 · hooper.gg · ▲124

  Hey everyone, OP here. Wanted to share a bit more about Hooper — I started building it with a good friend of mine six months ago. We play a lot of pickup together and were arguing about who has a better jump shot and ended up hacking together an app to settle it The way Hooper works is you can record yourself using the app and ideally a tripod (optional). The app will track everyone, whether its a solo practice, a 3v3, or a 5v5. We think there’s a lot of stuff out there for basketball drills but what we really wanted Hooper to be for is actual game play. That means, it can do things like…

  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…
