SHAllenge – Compete to get the lowest hash
I've always had an appreciation for the properties of hashing. I especially like the concept of Proof of Work, so I tried to make a little competition out of it.
SHAllenge – Compete to get the lowest hash launched on June 14, 2024 with 123 votes, #452 of 4,672 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
SHAllenge is a competition game based on hashing and proof-of-work concepts. Players compete to generate the lowest possible hash value, combining cryptographic principles with a competitive challenge format. The platform turns mathematical hashing properties into an interactive competition, appealing to users interested in cryptography, blockchain technology, and computational challenges.

Nova JavaScript Engine2024 · github.com · ▲271We're building a different kind of JavaScript engine, based on data-oriented design and willingness to try something quite out of left field. This is most concretely visible in our major architectural choices: 1. All data allocated on the JavaScript heap is placed into a type-specific vector. Numbers go into the numbers vector, strings into the strings vector, and so on. 2. All heap references are type-discriminated indexes: A heap number is identified by its discriminant value and the index to which it points to in the numbers vector. 3. Objects are also split up into object kind -specific…
Sameshi – a ~1200 Elo chess engine that fits within 2KBFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲230I made a chess engine today, and made it fit within 2KB. I used a variant of MinMax called Negamax, with alpha beta pruning. For the board representation I have used a 120-cell "mailbox". I managed to squeeze in checkmate/stalemate in there, after trimming out some edge cases. I am a great fan of demoscene (computer art subculture) since middle school, and hence it was a ritual i had to perform. For estimating the Elo, I measured 240 automated games against Stockfish Elo levels (1320 to 1600) under fixed depth-5 and some constrained rules, using equal color distribution. Then converted…
I made a little math game named Summle2022 · summle.net · ▲189I made this game for my children to play, as they are heavily into Wordle, and I thought they'd also like something maths based! Every puzzle is solvable and has at least one solution (usually more). There is a kids mode in the settings, plus a hard mode for extra difficulty.
