I like the progressive example toys. Thanks!


I’ve done the same with a q3 and virtual desktop for a few weeks and hours at a time when I didn’t have a good monitor. I could run a 4k screen after tweaking the settings a bit. (And using a dummy hdmi plug so an external monitor was not needed)

It was best curved and large (and angled down a bit) so that I use it like it is 4 1080p screens. And move head to see each (and a bit more) sharp.

The newer version (tested briefly) lets you arrange several virtual monitors wherever. Not as convenient/sharp as a large 4k tv/monitor on my desk, but for a backup monitor and mobile it was great. I’ll give it a shot again.


Very fun! Works great on iPhone. Neat that I can stop by just lifting my finger to take a breather. Fun multipliers! More to discover!


Yes, I'm and android user, but my girlfriend is on iphone, so I better make it work there too. Not going to pay the apple tax to publish a free game on the store though. have you noticed that you could disable the "mobile mode" in settings, and then move your finger over the browser navigation, and it still controls the puck ? Fullscreen didn't work last time i tried in safari but this gives you a bit extra space and time to see the ball coming.


I didn’t have to disable mobile mode to move my fingers over the browser navigation from the app and still control the puck. It’s very replaceable. I like the statistics. Perhaps one that shows a histogram over all games and where you rank for score etc? But top tennis is generous.


In the meantime i found the best way to play on iphone safari is to tap aA/hide toolbars. The histograms shown are your top 10 games. I limited the list because after a while the earlier games and 10 seconds run just pollute the histogram by stretching the interval. A separate list of just the score could be nice, but i don't know if it's so interesting to know you player 30 or 40 games better than the current one before, right ? The goal being to reach high scores, i thought i'd show how they compare to their best version of themselves. There's no global leaderboard because i don't want to maintain such a server and the game is trivial to cheat in.


Nice. I’m similarly spoiled for choice now. Past workplace:

1. Swiss Miss Hot chocolate mix

2. Starlight Peppermint Mints

3. Lemonade

4. Peanut butter

For variety, I tried many combinations. Some: 1+3: bad, 1+2, 2+3: good, 1+4: awesome


Not the same a 3+4 but there are lemon roasted peanuts, I've not had them, but lemon roasted pistachio's are really good.


(Hmm... A qr code to an audio stream? Could be a fun challenge to get it to sync reliably.)


Already solved haha: https://pulsemesh.io


Nice! Does-this/can-this handle interlacing?

(Half vertical resolution, offset a bit every other frame)


OP's relationship story sounds so familiar to me.

[Insert TMI story.] Cycle of abuse: https://psychcentral.com/health/cycle-of-abuse

Fortunately, it ended ok. I healed for over a year before dating again, and dated someone for exactly a year to make sure it was good relationship. It still is. :D


Occlusion could be done with head tracking for one observer (not both eyes though); but defeats the point. I'm guessing AR glasses will work for much of this.


Cool project!

Could a hefty reverse magnetic pulse launch captured pieces off the board? And maybe with some precision by controlling the offset and power?


Battle Chess 2024: more exciting than the original. The human player has to dodge the assault of their electronic opponent!

Sometimes an interesting idea is best left unimplemented.


Man, I remember playing Battle Chess back in the late ’80s. We’d go out of our way to see what all the different piece vs piece conquests looked like. I’d love to have that on the iPad for my chess-addicted son.


I was thinking shooting the piece into a basket or something, but aiming for the player's forehead sounds fun.


Neat, I played with 360 equirectangular projection gen for a gamejam last year. It has some interesting possibilities and challenges.

I started to image segment objects then generative infill to replace the background and make objects in the forground to work have z depth for vr, used switchlight ai to make objects into PBR textures so I could have dynamic lights...

I later found this tool for generating 360 panoramas: https://skybox.blockadelabs.com/025e37f6fb27d9f2495cbbbf874f...

What would be cool is to have ai generated scene that is spatially coherent and explorable. I think it's possible with a bit of tooling now...

Curious what the author's plans for this is.
