Re:Show HN: All roads lead home – a Google timeline replacement

Pretty cool. Google timeline was an awesome idea but stopped using it at some point because I didn’t want my data saved there. Can I do offline with this app?
Re:Show HN: My first android game. MongoDB/Tornado backend

Hey thanks! The game is built on the AndEngine framework. The framework has an animation library that lets your move, rotate, scale sprites. However that by itself was not robust enough for us to build decent animations on. So I built a little xml framework on it that let my partner build animations, and storyboards from sets of these animations. Then I take those animations and apply them to the characters.
Show HN: My first android game. MongoDB/Tornado backend
After graduation, my friend and I decided to build mobile games instead of finding jobs. Today we released our first game called Monster Rivals. It is a fighting game with simple RPG elements such as stats and items with unique powers. We have a lot more planned for it in the future, but wanted to get the game out as soon as possible. The game also allows you to fight your friends through...

Ask HN: Best resources to get informed about starting a tech company?
I just graduated from college as a software engineer. Instead of finding a job, I decided to start making social Android games with a friend after having some relative success with mobile games previously. We are nearing our first product release in the next few months, however I am still uncertain about how to publish it. We have not registered a company yet, and I am still not sure what the...

Could you please clarify on that issue? So it ignores the first letter and just skips to the second one? Thanks for playing the game!

Were you able to play on other browsers? We have been told that happens on some Android devices as well. We are looking into it right :/ Thanks for pointing it out!

A couple of weeks ago, my friends and I built a word game during a hackathon and got a great reception from people who played it. Previous HN thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3750068
My friends have cleaned up a lot of the UI and the code, and have published it under a new name. It uses now.js in the backend, and is all html5/js. Let me know what you think!
The game works well on mobile devices too. iPad has the best experience :)

Yup thats where I got the idea from. Wanted to see if we could build an HTML5 version in 24 hours :)

I just fixed a few more problems with how I was handling input which could have been the method for the rick roll. Will have to wait and see I guess.

Thanks- its great to hear that you enjoyed it. I am trying to fix some of the xss and injection problems with the game right now. I plan on adding high scores and polishing this game up!

That was me taking down the server for a few seconds. I have done some more sanitization for now, but will likely do a much more thorough sanitization when I get the chance later.

Sorry for the xss- knew it was a problem but thought I would fix it later after I got some sleep. I have done some basic sanitization for now, and will likely make it much better later. I have also increased the time limit to 2 minutes.

yup- will likely do server side checks in the future, but this worked well for a hackathon. Thanks for pointing it out though!

I generate the letters based on the frequency of the letters in the English language. I just do this process many times, and then use the board with the most words. Its a very hacky brute force way :)

You can use the keyboard to type out the words. There are a few bugs with that but it might be much easier. The game figures out which letters you want to use as you keep typing. Just press enter when you are done typing out the word.

Built this in 24 hours with 3 other friends as a part of an on campus Yahoo hackathon. We just finished working on the game, so it likely has many bugs. The game is built with html5, and the backend uses now.js. This works on the computer, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices. I am very tired right now, so going to leave this running, and go sleep! Game inspired by Wordament on WP7.
