Build a mobile game from a video with AI

Ship a mobile game this week. Upload a video, Tapugo builds.

What it does

Start from a video, an image, or a sentence. Build a playable, put it in front of real players on Facebook, and take the ones that score native to the App Store and Google Play.

Start from a video, a screenshot, or a sentence. Tapugo builds a playable you can try in one sitting, puts it in front of real players on Facebook, and scores how they respond. The games that score go native, onto the App Store and Google Play, from here. 400 credits free. No card. Enough to have a video taken apart frame by frame. Real game, real rules, running in your browser. Argue with it until it is fun. Film the ads from your own gameplay and run them, without an agency or an ad account of your own. What a tap costs, and how far the people who tapped actually get. A number, not a hunch. One click rebuilds it on a real engine, wires up the publisher SDKs, and pushes to the App Store…from tapugo.ai

  • 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.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    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…
