Re:Show HN: A little physical breakout clone on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @04:41PM (#49188712)
Nice! played through the 28 levels.

About the mouse control: many times i failed because my cursor went outside the viewport and the paddle stopped moving. So i got to keep the mouse inside the game area, which is kinda annoying visually too. Even in fullscreen there are borders where the cursor can fall and die.

Another feedback: the ball bounces a bit too vertically on block corners, it seems it could bounce a bit more diagonally.

And i found the big-blocks levels a bit difficult because it was hard to send the ball at the top of the screen.

Thank you, i had fun :)

Nice :) I would like the video to loop perfectly. I can notice the loop by her strand of hair.
Hmm, is this lib GDPR compliant?
Re:Show HN: I made a Sonic runner game in JavaScript on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @06:44PM (#41919479)
Simple and very nice! i wonder if adding the possibility to lose the rings and die only when hit while having no rings left just like in a real Sonic game would add more fun.
I didn't know of electric-battery-powered leaf blowers! Here in France i always suffer gas engine blowers which are so annoyingly loud and smelly.

Re:The plague of emoji insertion in French docs on Monday November 14, 2022 @04:51PM (#33601736)
The same happens with Jira. It's a nightmare since if you press escape to quit the emoji mode, you abort your input and lose focus. There should be a way to configure that shortcut to whatever suites you. Anyway i don't get why web apps bother implementing their own emoji input, the operating system does it already (the windows key + ; shortcut for example). And to reply to those who simply ask people to change their habit: it's rude. Imagine the other way around: all the English typing people having to insert a space before a : for whatever reason, would that makes sense to you?
Fantastic, 3 minutes after clicking on your website, i was watching the ISS passing by at my window.

Re:Ask HN: Do we need Google captcha? on Tuesday October 22, 2019 @04:21PM (#21328127)
You should add arrow key mapping, so we can beat the captcha with the keyboard. Using the mouse is tiedous.
