Sprigman – Pac-Man Recreated in a Limited Tile Based JavaScript Engine

Sprig is a tile based game engine made by Hack Club that's like Scratch's older brother but has it's own set of unique limitations. All sprites need to be made in Bitmap and uses a midi like event sequencer to get any music into it, since it's meant for a different set of hardware, you can only use very basic controls too. I made a version of PacMan inside it that has randomly generated mazes every time and mostly works well!

In plain words

Sprigman is a Pac-Man game built in Sprig, a tile-based JavaScript game engine created by Hack Club. The game features randomly generated mazes that change with each playthrough and runs within Sprig's constraints, which limit sprites to bitmap graphics, basic controls, and MIDI-style music sequencing. It demonstrates what's possible when developing for a deliberately limited hardware-focused platform.

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    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:…
