farmhand VS trystero

We hope you'll enjoy these new improvements to the game. We certainly enjoyed making them. Let us know what you think! And if you'd like to look at the game's source code, you can find it here: https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand

https://www.farmhand.life/ is built with React (source code: https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand), and Farmhand Go! on Steam is built with Godot. Godot supports web exports, so you can play Farmhand Go! on Itch in your browser: https://rainbowcow-studio.itch.io/farmhand-go

I hope you'll check out Farmhand! It's been a labor of love for me for 5 years and we're always adding to and improving the game. We've got a friendly and welcoming Discord community at https://discord.gg/6cHEZ9H, and you can check out the project source code at https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand.

I tried to debug this a bit, but I wasn’t able to determine a root cause of the data corruption that caused this crash. I’ve opened a ticket here to keep track of the issue: https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand/issues/385

Thanks for this helpful feedback, and I'm sorry that you found Farmhand so inaccessible. We've tried to keep accessibility in mind for much of the game's design, but clearly there's a lot more to do. The good news is that since Farmhand is built with standard web technology, these gaps can certainly be closed with some development effort. I've filed a ticket to get this done: https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand/issues/384

Thank you for reporting this, and also for reporting in the Discord channel! u/ahhsumx (another Farmhand dev) already has a fix for this in the works at https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand/pull/334.

It takes selling four Carrots to learn the Carrot Soup recipe. We've got a wiki page with the recipe unlock ingredients here: https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand/wiki/Recipes

The source code lives at https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand and we have a friendly community at https://discord.gg/vZQNNsAj that all are welcome to join.

Thanks to u/ahhsumx for coming up with and building this mechanic! It's a really fun addition to the game. As always, you can play Farmhand online at https://www.farmhand.life/ and download it from https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand/releases/latest.

Greetings all! I have something exciting to share today: Farmhand is now a native app for Linux, MacOS and Windows! You can download the apps here: https://github.com/jeremyckahn/farmhand/releases/tag/1.14.4

This looks exciting and I'm pleased to see more and more frictionless ways of making p2p apps. I've been building a somewhat similar hobby project [1] that aims to connect peers in the browser by piggybacking on open protocols out on the net (BitTorrent, MQTT, Nostr, IPFS, etc).

This project seems to be using Hyperswarm which I've looked at for use as a peering medium but it seems like it's not supported in the browser. I'd love to implement it if that story changes since it's so easy to distribute apps on the web.

I was going to mention WebRTC! It seems designed for video calling, but there are lots of cool use cases - I recently ran across https://github.com/dmotz/trystero , a dead simple WebRTC library for peer-to-peer multiplayer browser games.

I strongly endorse Trystero (https://github.com/dmotz/trystero) for enabling P2P communication in web apps. It’s open source and leverages public infrastructure for matchmaking.

Nice work! Any reason one might use this over https://github.com/dmotz/trystero, you think?

Yes, this is a major issue that I haven't found a real solution for. There seems to be a mixture of iOS Safari bugs and intentional design limitations at play, and I don't know if a fully P2P web app like Chitchatter is practical on that platform. There's an open issue to improve this in Trystero (the networking library that Chitchatter uses), but there may be a limit to how stable iOS will be with WebRTC apps. 😕

You can use Trystero (https://github.com/dmotz/trystero) to cut server costs to zero. That’s what I used to build https://chitchatter.im/, which supports P2P audio and video calls.

WebTorrent is obviously well suited for p2p file distribution, but using a minimal subset of the protocol also provides a nice hack for easily bootstrapping peer connections between web app users. Piggybacking on public mediums already designed to do peer exchange can let you rapidly prototype a WebRTC project without the hassle of running your own server anywhere.

I built a library that explores this idea: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero
