I simulated 1200 Iranian missiles attacking air defences in a browser
I've built airdefense.dev, which is able to simulate all kinds of ballistic missiles, one-way-attack drones like Shaheds, and most of the commonly deploy anti-air defence systems. All of this inside the browser. I've now added a scenario of the current attacks in the Middle East by Iran. It was quite the challenge to optimize it enough to not completely kill a common laptop, although it still runs best on a bit beefier systems.
In plain words
Airdefense.dev is a browser-based simulation tool that models ballistic missiles, one-way-attack drones like Shaheds, and air defense systems. Users can test defensive scenarios, including a recreation of recent Iranian missile attacks in the Middle East. The simulation runs entirely in the browser, though it requires substantial computing power to handle the complexity of modeling multiple weapons and defense systems simultaneously.

For the past few months we’ve been building Trigger.dev and can now share our beta with you: https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev. Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven background tasks directly in their code. You write workflows using our SDK, and can view all the runs in our web app. Why we built this: - We found current workflow / automation tools like Zapier and n8n are good for simple tasks, but not for more advanced use cases. - Dropping down into code in these tools is just not a great…

I've posted this game here before, hopefully a repost is fine as the game has changed quite a bit (improved AI, improved mapeditor, much quicker gameplay, etc). Game is based on JavaScript/Canvas and WebSockets. On the browser side the map is pre-rendered (as a background image), just the mobile units/buildings and animations are dynamically rendered. The lobby server is made in node.js, but the game server is C++ for performance reasons (mainly the pathfinding). I found the C++ WebSocket libraries out there to be too difficult to use so I made my own based on the rfc. Overall I…
