New homebrew games for the PDP-1 and Apollo Guidance Computer

All games are playable in the browser, and were written in the past month in AGC/Macro1 assembler, with the source code available on Github: https://github.com/1888games/2048_Apollo https://github.com/1888games/2DMaze_AGC https://github.com/1888games/1nvader-PDP-1

In plain words

This collection features homebrew games developed recently for vintage computers—the PDP-1 and Apollo Guidance Computer—using AGC/Macro1 assembler. All games are playable directly in a web browser, and complete source code is available on Github for developers interested in retro computing or historical computer programming. The project demonstrates modern game development on classic 1960s hardware.

    Homegames. An open-source game platform I've been making for 8 yearsJul 2026 · homegames.io · ▲229

    I'm making a platform for simple open source games you can play anywhere. Games are all just JavaScript classes and you can read the source of every game on the platform. I started working on initial "games" (mostly rendering tests) in 2018 and eventually built all of the platform stuff around it to make it easy to share games. There's also an in-browser editor available for you to make and publish games all from the browser. Would love some feedback on the games and studio features as well as the platform overall. All of the code is available at https://github.com/homegamesio

    Hi HN! I’ve been building a 2D game using a custom engine I wrote from scratch – no Unity, no frameworks. It’s fully self-funded and will be released commercially on Steam. Engine source code (MIT): http://github.com/willtobyte/carimbo I’d love feedback on the gameplay, visuals, performance, or anything else. Thanks!

    I built 80 mini-games using Fable before it was shut downJun 2026 · minigames.world · ▲54

    Dear Hacker News, I'm kindly asking for your participation in the open beta for my AI-managed mini-games website. Thank you in advance! For a limited time window, I'm setting the all-free feature flag to true. I hope you have a lot of fun exploring the AI's sense for games! Here and there, I tweaked it to help with visual consistency. I would be deeply grateful if you opted into analytics. $2,300 in API tokens... Cheers!

    Play abstract strategy board games online with friends or against botsOct 2025 · abstractboardgames.com · ▲180

    Thought I would post in celebration of 1 year of my website being online. I've been working on it on and off and currently the website allows users to play Hex, Tumbleweed, Amazons, and Connect 6 against friends or against practice bots. I've been a long time player of some of these games and I felt for a long time that the world could use a few more popular abstract strategy games compared to Chess or Go. If you try it, let me know what you think. I'm always looking for new games or new features to add :)

    Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
