What it does
Play four world variants online, against eight bots or with a friend on one device. The Coach grades every move, explains tactical mistakes and lets you retry recoverable blunders while the position is still fresh. Train with 100 puzzles, a daily challenge and 10 interactive lessons. Native on iPhone and iPad. No ads or cross-app tracking.
Play four checkers variants online, solve 100 puzzles, and learn with a Coach that grades every move.
Play four world variants, compete online, and learn from a Coach that grades the move while the position is still on screen. Coach runs in games against the computer. The engine compares your move with its strongest choice, then names the tactical reason when it finds one. Each move receives a clear grade. Forced moves stay Best, and the game keeps its rhythm. Coach calls out a hanging piece, missed multi-capture or promotion left behind when the position supports it. Recoverable mistakes and blunders can receive a free take-back before the idea goes cold. Coach is the learning layer. Online play, four rulesets, eight bots, puzzles and lessons make it a game you can keepfrom checkers.tepoyan.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.
