Show HN: Checkers Twist – The game Checkers/Draughts/Dames on an irregular grid
- some corners will connect less than 4 tiles. This does the opposite of the previous point, as this removes diagonals. This limits your moves in a specific direction, but can also protect you from your opponents. It's the kind of features that can be used both as a defense and as attack.
And the boards are procedurally generated, so you can play unique games each time (or you can re-use the same boards if you like). It is done with my engine Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com/ ), and if you're curious about how the grid is built, here is an example scene you can play with: https://polygonjs.com/gui/irregular_quad_relaxation/edit .
The game is not free on Steam/iOS, but the demo has no time limit, it just gives you a handful of boards to play with.
I hope that's fun!

On the importance to make games during the game engine's development
That's the path I took with Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com ), and a game I've just released ( https://polyreplay.com/minesweepertwist ), with more coming shortly.
But it didn't start like that. It only started as a tool I could use to deliver client projects, as I was trying to become a freelance for interactive 3D scenes for the web.
Project after project ( some examples here: https://polygon-lab.com/ ), I could improve Polygonjs. Then I found clients who would be interested enough to buy licenses, and would give valuable feedback which would help the project grow even more.
And a few clients asking for not just interactive sites, but also games. This pushed Polygonjs further, and after several games released, it definitely qualifies as a game engine.
So this is generally an advice I give to people who want to become freelancers. Build a tool that solves a problem in your space, as this gives you an edge, and you'll also get the chance to confront that tool to reality, which will help it - and you - grow. This becomes a virtuous circle very quickly.

how can I convert a 3D model into an SDF, a signed distance field
You can have a look how I do it in Polygonjs (which is a node-based design tool based on threejs), in this example scene.

ThreeJS capabilities
If you're familiar with Houdini, I invite you to try Polygonjs, which is based on threejs and inspired by Houdini. You can basically build threejs in a procedural way, with just nodes.

I’m starting to get into generative media and visual making and I want to know what software to use other than touchdesigner.
You could try Polygonjs. It's inspired by Houdini, so has a lot in common with TouchDesigner (it's fully node-based, you can create audio reactive apps), and it works on the web, which makes scenes very easy to share.

Sdf – Generate 3D meshes based on SDFs
you can generate an SDF from a mesh with [Polygonjs](https://polygonjs.com). Here is an [example scene](https://polygonjs.com/examples/bynode:mat:raymarchingbuilder...).
It won't generate a function, though. Instead it creates a 3D texture which is used inside the raymarching material. In my experience this is much more performant, and also art-directable.

Need help for job
It sounds like you need a dynamic system that runs in the browser. Maybe try Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com )? The the 3rd interactive scene on the front page gives an idea of a dynamic model. I run it, if that of interest, happy to give more examples

Vegetation modelling tool
If you ever wanted to do a vegetation modelling tool for the web, I invite you to try it on Polygonjs, it has a lot of similarities with Houdini (node-based, procedural modeling, HDA system, etc) and is all web/realtime. And open source.

Building an Email Assistant Application with Burr
You can use any frontend framework you want — react-based tooling, however, has a natural advantage as it models everything as a function of state, which can map 1:1 with the concept in Burr. In the demo app we use react, react-query, and tailwind, but we’ll be skipping over this largely (it is not central to the purpose of the post).

The best testing strategies for frontends
With better CSS approaches like TailwindCSS and Vanilla Extract (which we're heavily using) it's much easier to maintain the UI and make sure it doesn't change unexpectedly. No more conflicting CSS classes, much less CSS specificity issues and much less CSS code in general.

Show HN: Brutalisthackernews.com – A HN reader inspired by brutalist web design
- Performance is a feature.
Another common interpretation of brutalism is aesthetic, reacting to overly complicated user interfaces by creating simpler, more direct ones. Tailwind CSS (https://tailwindcss.com), one of today's most popular CSS libraries, promotes this approach in its component examples. There's also a neat library I've seen recently called "Neobrutalism Components" for React that I like (https://neobrutalism-components.vercel.app), providing components with a similar look and feel to Gumroad. This might more accurately be called 'Neo-Brutalism,' as noted in the comments.
A more engineering-centric interpretation of Brutalism focuses on form, structure, and efficiency, drawing significantly from brutalist architecture principles. Apart from the user interface itself, most mobile, desktop, and web applications are extremely bloated and often perform worse than sites from 10 years ago did. While one HTML file might be "less brutalist" than the original HN site, it is substantially more brutalist than any HN mobile app in existence, and offers nearly identical functionality.
A broader interpretation of brutalism, which could be termed 'Meta-Brutalism,' is embodied in the overall experience on this site through UX flows. Yes, in the strictest sense, the original HN site is more Brutalist in many ways, but it only shows 30 articles at a time and does not function as a PWA. For this site, the experience of reading 10 stories is arguably less brutalist, but for quickly browsing through several pages and skimming articles (which is how I read HN) it is a lot faster, and in my opinion, more Brutalist.
My primary inspiration was addressing software and tool bloat in UIs rather than strictly adhering to every principle set forth by David Bryant Copeland. I don't find it convincing that this site "isn't brutalist" compared to really any other experience apart from the Main HN site, and I would argue the overall experience is more brutalist in its performance and scrolling behavior.
As a side note: I generally don't like Brutalist architecture that much although I believe it is unfairly maligned. I visited the Salk Institute once and enjoyed it though (https://www.archdaily.com/61288/ad-classics-salk-institute-l...).
