Have you ever used SSH to connect to a remote server? Or somebody's personal portfolio? Or @zrl ’s <http://sshtron.zachlatta.com/ |SSH Tron>? (sorry zach for ping

) What if I told you that @DuckyBoi_XD(Braeden) and myself made... ✨ Poker Over SSH ✨ This is a *terminal-based game* played through SSH, where you connect to a server and play Poker with other people who are online. If no-one else is online, you get to play with AIs
openai emoji
; just don't underestimate the AIs, they are quite... intelligent But wait, there's more! Sick of browser or desktop games? Want a retro experience? Just fire up your terminal, type ssh play.poker.qincai.xyz -p 23456, and play a hand of Texas Hold'em - no account or sign-ups needed, just SSH. • Multiplayer: Play with friends or strangers, right in your terminal • Bots: Outwit the AI if you're solo-ing • No install: No client, just SSH • Cross-platform: supports
windows-7 emoji
,
appleinc emoji
, and of course our most beloved
linux emoji
. (and other OS with the OpenSSH Client installed)Open Source (duh!): Hackable, <https://github.com/poker-ssh/PoS-Docker |self-hostable>, and contributions welcome! The code is open, the server is live (for now), and it’s all just a keystroke away (quite literally). 🚢 #C0M8PUPU6|ed! GitHub Org: github.com/poker-ssh Website & Guide (WIP): poker.qincai.xyz

Today is so amazing,exciting and enriching. As our first time participating in a Hack Club activity, it is really a fascinating experience as we learned how to think out of the box and come out with the most crazy and useless ideas. Thank you Sir Josias for such a wonderful experience ✨. #C09CV6QDGRW|

heavysob emoji
, but i feel like if i redid it now, i could probably do in 1-2 hours. there's a timelapse attached btw. i did learn a lot of stuff! the hardest part maybe was probably unwrapping the UVs? next im gonna rig it and make it dance or something

This message is a bit late 😅 , so it’s fasttttt. This is my first ever game in rust and I used Macroquad! I plan to deploy it on the web soon since macroquad makes that easy, but you can play it right now on Linux, Mac and Windows! It’s called CloudCat and basically you have a cat, and rain clouds and your objective is to protect the cat using an umbrella (triggered for 3s via hitting the space bar)! I hand animated the cat & cloud and those are my first ever animations too!! Check it out on SoM: summer.hackclub.com/projects/1359 And on GitHub (downloads are available in releases): github.com/Spacexplorer11/CloudCat

Hey everyone, just shipped my second proper project! (not counting one which was just fixing the styling of an old project). It's just a simple path tracer made without any game engines or libraries; just WebGPU and JS. Honestly, there aren't as many features as I would've wanted and the performance is definitely lacking, but I'd say it's alright considering this is only my third every project with WebGPU. summer.hackclub.com/projects/8327 draedon123.github.io/Path-Tracer

Finally! Today was my O Level's result of non-core subjects: Pakistan Studies, Islamiat and Urdu. I scored A*'s in Pakistan Studies and Islamiat but got A in Urdu which was quite shocking because in Urdu, I was always on top in my class. I can't believe that I scored A in Urdu. Yet, I have to accept the reality. Next time, I would have to work more harded and grind a lot more than this time. But yeah, I understood one thing: do things in a way that you got 0% chance of regretting in your future life. By the way, anything that happens is for a reason and leaves behind a reason. 😞

Hi there! I'm excited to share TabLift, a macOS utility I built as a summer project. TabLift makes switching between apps faster and smoother by instantly restoring minimized windows when using ⌘ Tab or ⌘ . Working rn on TabLift v2.1. If you have any feature requests, feel free to open a GitHub issue: <https://github.com/turtle-key/TabLift> or contact me at <mailto:ghetumihaieduard@gmail.com|ghetumihaieduard@gmail.com>. :)) *Key Features:* • Instantly restores minimized windows when you switch to an app using ⌘ Tab or ⌘ ` ◦ Restore all minimized windows on app switch: When you hit ⌘ Tab or ⌘ `, every minimized window for that app pops back exactly where you left it (across Spaces and displays) ◦ Automatically open a window for apps with no windows: If Finder, Terminal, your browser, or editor has none open, TabLift can create a fresh window so you never land on an empty app ◦ Minimize previous windows on app switch: After focusing the new app, the one you left gets minimized into the Dock. • Dock pop-ups with window title previews: Shows a pop-up when you hover Dock icons with all of the windows of an app and the ability to close, minimize and maximize them • App Window Switcher that displays the windows of the same app and is activated by the ⌘ `` shortcut. tablift.dev summer.hackclub.com/projects/2109

Day 30... it's already been a month. I don't really know what to post here for today, most of my physics was a lot of work just looking at numbers (literally, looking at them) and sifting through catalogues by hand to find interesting stuff. I did re read the last half of this book though (this photo is from a while ago) which was nice. 🔥 5
