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.
Eight free browser games: Surgehold, a daily 3D tower defence; Canopy, a daily FPS; Shadowbark; Typefall; Slice; Cipher; Doomscroll; Empire.
Playdeck24 is a deck of small, sharp browser games. Surgehold , a daily 3D tower defence where you hold a lighthouse keep against the sea. 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. Hold a lighthouse keep…from playdeck24.com

Word Slicer2024 · wordslicer.com · ▲85I shared Word Slicer here a while back — it’s a free, ad-free, browser-based word game where you try to find 5 words in 5 minutes. Since then I’ve been improving it (daily challenge archive, cleaner UI, better stats), and I’d love more feedback from the HN crowd. In particular, I’m interested in thoughts on the gameplay flow, design/UX, and what would make it more engaging.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey 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…
