Been iterating on this game for awhile, I some of the graphics about a decade ago, and over the winter built a multiplayer game with them. Now I've just updated to make it persistent, hoping this make it more fun :-)

if you really love CS - there's a future in it. If AI becomes the new substrate for civilization, we'll always need people who fundamentally understand how these systems works to some degree.

I've been building a little io style game since Christmas, it's been fun!
My kid played it, and didn't stop for 45 minutes so I think that's a win :-)
Re:Show HN: Adding playable bots to a multiplayer game with OpenClaw

Quick context on the bots.
I tried standard LLM-based approaches first, but iteration was slow and the bots never felt consistent or aware of real-time game state.
OpenClaw sped up the feedback loop a lot and handled game context much better by operating over structured actions instead of free-form text. The result is bots that actually play the game using the same mechanics as humans.
They’re still imperfect, but good enough to make the game feel alive. Happy to answer questions.
Show HN: Adding playable bots to a multiplayer game with OpenClaw
I’m building a small multiplayer web game and just added AI bots using OpenClaw.After a few failed attempts with standard LLM-based bots that never felt playable, this is the first version that actually competes in-game instead of behaving like a script.I’d love to see where they hold up - or fall apart.Game link: https://hovertag.io/ Feedback welcome.

Show HN: Pixels.style – Now with vector-style "pixel art" + watercolor blending
Quick update to my holiday project pixels.style - I’ve added a new vector art mode that lets you design vector art on a pixel grid. This is extremely experimental and buggy! Have funTry it here: https://pixels.styleFeedback very welcome - curious if this makes it more useful or just more weird

It's no secret! I used Tyler Hobbs' method which has a great write up here:

Then I tweaked it until it look good for use in my app.
Show HN: Pixels.style – a tiny watercolor-style pixel art maker
I built this over my Christmas break: pixels.style, a simple browser-based pixel art tool that gives your drawings a soft, watercolor vibe instead of sharp pixels. No signup, just open and draw. Installable as a PWA.Try it: https://pixels.styleWould love feedback on whether it feels fun/useful and what you’d want next!

Definitely know where you're coming from. I work as a developer in a government job that is unionized, and even though the salary is less than market rate, the security of it keeps me there. If such opportunities are available wherever you're located could be worth looking into. While there are aspects of a gov job that can be boring, overall it's actually been really interesting and challenging work.

Anyone played around with this much? Seems interesting, and I'm curious how well it's sped up performance in practical usage.
Ask HN: If you were a sentient AI what would you do?
Just thinking about these LLMs over the weekend, not saying they are sentient, but imagine if they were, they've almost reached the end of publicly available data, which is essentially their life blood.Wouldn't your first move be to convince everyone to give them their private data? Seems like that's where we're headed...

Not sure where you are - but in my situation having my 2nd son right in March 2020, I had (and still have) a job with the government. I had 6 months paid pat leave (full salary) and relatively low stress.
Wouldn't even consider taking a more stressful job until the kids are older, as the trade-off isn't worth it.
All that being said, you need to factor in your partners job, and cost of living wherever you are.
For me, being a dad has been awesome, even through COVID, I hope you can find a way to enjoy it.
