Zero to Hero – A Haskell Puzzle Game
Hi HN. I am a researcher from Monash University. For one of our projects, we made a Haskell puzzle game called Zero to Hero. I invite you to try out the puzzles and share your thoughts (optional). The game contains 10 unique puzzles; each challenges you to implement a seemingly impossible function. You will seek help from a handful of strange-looking helper functions and your own wits. The game starts easy but quickly escalates into madness. The game requires you to be comfortable with basic Haskell syntax to progress. But no other prior knowledge is needed. You can choose to participate in…
In plain words
Zero to Hero is a puzzle game developed by researchers at Monash University that teaches Haskell through 10 progressively challenging puzzles. Players implement seemingly impossible functions by using provided helper functions and problem-solving skills. The game requires basic Haskell syntax knowledge to start but escalates significantly in difficulty. Players can participate in the accompanying research study or play purely for enjoyment without data collection.

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
