Show HN: Color Orbs (Generative Art) Hi all, This is a generative art project I worked on over the past year or so consisting of about 100 little artworks generated using P5.js. I have an overview and technical write up here: https://bit.ly/3LGCtQn You can play with my interactive demo and make your own here: https://bit.ly/3Fg1oHT And the gallery is here: https://bit.ly/3KG5b2C This project came about after reading a HN post about a year ago ( https://bit.ly/3P7Hbcb ) by Atul Vinayak on generating beautiful 'Noise Planets' and I got kind of obsessed from there! https://bit.ly/3vHUrfU May 2, 2022 at 11:39PM

Show HN: Nests and Insects, a Roguelike Tabletop Roleplaying Game https://bit.ly/3FaC2LI

Show HN: Nests and Insects, a Roguelike Tabletop Roleplaying Game Hey, everyone! I'm making a game: its title is Nests & Insects and I call it a "Roguelike Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG)". It is free, as in beer and speech. You can find the rulebook on the game's github repository, linked through the post title. Nests & Insects is a game for 1 to 7 players, one of which takes on the role of the Game Queen (GQ) and describes the game world to the other players. The players control characters who explore and interact with the game world. The players say what their characters do and roll dice to see what happens, then the GQ describes the results. Players' characters are mercenary arthropods raiding a Nest on a Job from a rival Queen. Characters belong to one of six classes: Ants (plural), Beetle, Ladybug, Scorpion, Spider and Wasp, all modelled after real-world species. Nests are the nests of eusocial insects: Ants, Bees or Termites. The Job is to assasinate the Queen, or the King, or steal larvae, or aphids, or fungi, etc. Nests & Insects is "Roguelike" because it borrows elements from Roguelike Computer RPGs (CRPGs): hack-and-slash, dungeon-crawling gameplay, with procedurally generated Nest environments, lethal combat, and a hunger mechanic. The rulebook on the github repo above is all text-based, but formatted with ASCII borders, text boxes and tables, etc. I wrote a bit of code to automate the layouting (if that's a word). You can find the code in the codez/ directory in the repo. You don't need to mess with the code to play the game, but some of you might want to eyeball the raw text with LaTex-like markup under the directory /game/rulebook/raw and then look at the layouting code. Or you might want to tweak the characters' stats under codez/data/, or make your own characters. The code is all in Prolog :) Nests & Insects is still a work in progress. The rulebook is about 60% complete. There's rules for rolling dice (oo lots of dice!), action resolution, combat and stats for all six character classes and a few enemies (just Termites). If you've run a few TTRPGs you can probably bash together a quick game session, although there's plenty of stuff missing (Items, procedural generation, other minigames besides combat etc). I'm posting here because I'm eager for some feedback and because I'm hoping to build a small community around the game. I'm in the liminal space between finishing my thesis and actually getting a PhD so I have some spare time, but I plan to keep working on the game until it's finished, anyway. Also: I'm looking for ANSI or ASCII art for the rulebook. Anyone know anybody who would want to contribute, please get us in touch. Have fun! https://bit.ly/3FcyxUQ May 3, 2022 at 10:42AM

Show HN: I am developing a type safe colorspace library for Rust https://bit.ly/38D5iP0

Show HN: I am developing a type safe colorspace library for Rust After two weeks of planning and figuring out how to manage conversions safely, I have finally published the first version of my crate :) It allows you to specify your own colortypes and easily use the same syntax for converting between your custom color types! I also started working on a custom image type that can do math :) https://bit.ly/3s1XtJG May 2, 2022 at 12:31AM
