In plain words

Teapong is a two-player game that combines classic Pong gameplay with the iconic Utah teapot from computer graphics history. Players control paddles to hit a ball back and forth, but the twist involves the famous 3D teapot model as a central visual element. Designed for fans of retro arcade games and computer graphics culture, Teapong offers a nostalgic take on the original Pong concept with a nerdy aesthetic twist. The game is available on GitHub.

    I made a web game called Almost Pong2022 · lessmilk.com · ▲1,135

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!

    I wrote a book for engineers that want to become engineering managers▲695

    Hey folks. Last year I was fortunate enough to sign a deal to write a book with my favorite technical publisher, The Pragmatic Bookshelf. When I started out as an Engineering Manager many years ago, I found that there wasn't a huge amount of material that specifically and practically helped me understand how to do my job. When you learn to program there's all of these amazing tutorials, examples and guides, but what was there for new managers? In response to this, a couple of years ago I started a blog over at https://www.theengineeringmanager.com which got a decent amount of…
