Vircon32 – A virtual, simplified 32-bit game console
Vircon32 is a virtual game console designed from scratch to be as simple and portable as possible. Its main focus is to actually have interesting games to play, rather than just being a programmer sandbox. Console features are in line with the 32-bit generation (PSX/Saturn): true color, transparencies, CD-quality audio, memory card... But to keep simplicity, this is a 2D machine only.
In plain words
Vircon32 is a virtual 32-bit game console designed for simplicity and portability, focusing on playable games rather than programming tools. It features 2D graphics with true color, transparencies, and CD-quality audio comparable to the PSX and Saturn generation, along with memory card functionality. The console prioritizes ease of use while maintaining the technical capabilities of its era.

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:…
