I've been playing with trying to get the most out of regular terminal (ansi) graphics rendering for an mmorpg game for a bit of fun. Thought that I might take a quick detour and make a streetfighter style game that turned out better than I thought it would. Type "ssh sshfighter.com" in your terminal to play Visit the website https://sshfighter.com to watch replays etc (tv feature is cool) My friends and I have been working on bot models for a bit of fun, you can queue against them if you want to and they have their own leaderboard. look at /bots if you want to make your own.…
In plain words
SSH Sshfighter is a Street Fighter-style fighting game playable directly in the terminal using ANSI graphics. Players connect via SSH to compete in one-on-one matches, with options to fight AI bots or other players. The game includes a replay feature on its website, customizable bot models, and a leaderboard system. The project is open-source and designed to explore terminal graphics capabilities without relying on advanced graphics protocols.

It's all open source https://github.com/thomasdavis/sshfighter.com --- I intentionally didn't take advantage of things like kitty graphics, but I have started work on an adapter to take full advantage of it. (the bandwidth is a bit hard to reckon with) --- Feedback would be awesome! p.s. sorry I did not test on any windows terminals

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.
