What it does

Drag the course handle on the arena: further is faster, and speed is taken from the laser's recharge. Prisma Duel is a free, top-down, turn-based space combat game that runs in a browser. You fly one fighter in a mirrored arena strewn with dichroic crystals. Nothing happens in real time: each turn you set a course, decide whether to fire, and commit — then every pilot's orders resolve together over about four seconds, and you watch what your guesses actually did. Everybody plans at the same time, against a clock. When the last pilot commits — or the clock runs out, in which case your fighter simply holds its last course — the turn executes for everyone at once. There is no…from prismaduel.com

    Laser, a new game played on a chess board2023 · playlaser.xyz · ▲218

    Laser is a turn based game similar to chess, with different piece movement rules, starting position, and win conditions. It's named after the laser piece, which can shoot diagonally through every piece on the board except for the wall, which blocks it. The detailed rules are on the website. I made the website as a super minimal way to play online against friends. Nobody really knows about it so it might be hard to find a game, but maybe you will against someone on HN if people read this. It uses the lichess.org chessboard UI which is super pretty and allows you to draw on the board, make…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • 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…
