We’re building a gaming console for the browser

hey all, We’re excited to share bash.gg - a way to play all games on your browser. Our mission is to enable you to play games, from any device, with your friends. We're planning on using a combination of WebGL (soon WebGPU) & pixel streaming to run any game. Our product is going viral within a few school districts, here’s what we’ve built. The Problem: Poor Experiences: Mobile gaming is limited by hardware. Most mobile games are spammy & focused on optimizing value extraction. Existing web games are junk. Expensive: For good games, you need a console or PC, costing $600 - $3k. Not Scalable:…

In plain words

Bash.gg is a browser-based gaming platform that lets users play console and PC games from any device without specialized hardware. It uses WebGL and pixel streaming technology to deliver high-quality games accessible through web browsers, enabling multiplayer gaming across different devices. The platform targets players seeking affordable alternatives to expensive gaming consoles and PCs, addressing limitations of existing mobile games.

hey all, We’re excited to share bash.gg - a way to play all games on your browser. Our mission is to enable you to play games, from any device, with your friends. We're planning on using a combination of WebGL (soon WebGPU) & pixel streaming to run any game. Our product is going viral within a few school districts, here’s what we’ve built. The Problem: Poor Experiences: Mobile gaming is limited by hardware. Most mobile games are spammy & focused on optimizing value extraction. Existing web games are junk. Expensive: For good games, you need a console or PC, costing $600 - $3k. Not Scalable: Consoles are sold at a loss & desktop computers are too expensive. Necessary hardware is increasing in size and cost. On the other hand, games continue to get more computationally expensive. bash.gg: Great Experiences: We’re bringing the best games from PC and console to your browser so you can play from any device instantly. Affordable: You don’t need expensive hardware, just a stable internet connection. Scalable: As games demand more resources, they’re run in the cloud. The games that don’t need all that power can run in a browser. TLDR: Consoles make it difficult to play with all of your friends. If your friend has Xbox, and you have Playstation - you might not be able to play together. Having games on the browser lets anyone play, by just clicking a link. Not only that, but you can chat and play, all in one place. In progress features: pixel streaming (quic + webcodecs), community features, live audio/text chat (should release within in 2 weeks) Excited to hear what you all think!

  • 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:…

    This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;raw.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;brycedrennan&#x2F;imaginAIry&#x2F;ma... Girl with a pearl earring: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;raw.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;brycedrennan&#x2F;imaginAIry&#x2F;ma... I integrated this new InstructPix2Pix model into imaginAIry (python library) so it's easy to use for python developers.

    The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

    Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
