I built an autopilot for the lunar lander game

In plain words

This is an autopilot program for a lunar lander game that automatically executes landings based on optimal strategy. Rather than playing manually, users can watch the autopilot achieve perfect landings without intervention. The tool was built by reverse-engineering effective gameplay techniques and translating them into code. It is designed for players of the lunar lander game who want to explore automated solutions. The source code is publicly available on GitHub.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  BBC “In Our Time”, categorised by Dewey Decimal, heavy lifting by GPT▲688

  I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
