Playdeck24
Fresh and exiting browser based games for all age groups
What it does
Five small, sharp games that run in a browser tab: type falling words before they stack, cut only the target shape, decode a daily cipher, survive your own hostile notifications, or build a civilization in exactly five minutes. Free. No signup, no downloads.
Seven free browser games: Canopy, a daily FPS; Shadowbark, a bullet heaven; Typefall; Slice; Cipher, a decode puzzle; Doomscroll; Empire.
Playdeck24 is a deck of small, sharp browser games. Canopy , a five-minute first-person shooter where cover stops your bullets as surely as theirs. Shadowbark , a bullet heaven whose horde hides behind trees and flanks you through the grass. Typefall , where words fall like Tetris pieces and your keyboard is the only way to stop them. Slice , where one shape scores and the rest are traps. Cipher , a daily word puzzle you decode rather than guess. Doomscroll , a 60 fps roguelite where your own phone turns hostile. And Empire in Minutes , a whole civilization in exactly five minutes. One operative against the Red Dust Brigade. They lean out from cover, flank through grass and put drones above…from playdeck24.com

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
