I ported a classic game from Flash to WebGL

I ported a classic game from Flash to WebGL launched on December 1, 2020 with 14 votes, #968 of 3,242 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

In plain words

A classic Flash game has been converted to run in WebGL, making it playable in modern web browsers. The port preserves the original gameplay experience while using current web technology. It's designed for people who enjoyed the original game or want to play retro-style games online without Flash support requirements.

    A remake of my 2004 PDA video game2024 · nicollet.net · ▲106

    My background project for the last two years has been re-implementing my 2004 C++ shoot'em up game in TypeScript + WebGL, and it's finally done (just in time for the 20th anniversary!)

There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
