Trek, a Classic Game for DOS
1) I love the aesthetics and the game play. First time I learned about this was reading a copy of 101 basic computer games during summer break. I didn't have a computer back then but was fascinated by the book, so I pried my parents until they got me one just so that I could program games.
2) I ported the game to a mobile web app/PWA [1] trying to keep the original feeling, but the lack of a usable keyboard meant the UX had to be drastically changed. Also I'm super-proud of the software architecture I picked which is all event-driven and applies the Model-view-presenter-controller pattern [2]

Ask HN: What open-source projects are you currently contributing to and why?
https://github.com/ggeorgovassilis/linuxscripts
A JSP implementation (with tag files!) based on an interpreter instead of a compiler https://github.com/ggeorgovassilis/fauxjsp
A Super Star Strek re-implementation https://github.com/ggeorgovassilis/superstartrek
A library that maps Java interfaces on REST services https://github.com/ggeorgovassilis/spring-rest-invoker
Mainly because I needed/wanted/could and there wasn't already something around that did the job.

The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party
Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

Ask HN: What older games are you playing through?
After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/
I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

Any way to play on a MacBook Pro?
Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.
