Note: this will most likely be the last v6 release. Lunar v7 is a rewrite of the whole brightness control engine and UI that will be released in September-October, dropping support for Intel and macOS versions older than 14.0 to get rid of legacy workarounds and hacks that accumulated over the past 7 years. lunar displays ultrafine appleNativeEnabled off ; lunar displays builtin ddcEnabled on v6.9.1 2025-09-25 Download {this.classList.remove('show-tooltip')}, 1500)" class="w-8 h-8 flex flex-col items-center justify-center hover:text-red-bright focus:text-red-bright transition-colors has-tooltip-manual opacity-80"> Copy Copied Link Fixes Make OSD text more visible on white backgrounds Fix…from lunar.fyi

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
