Project mention: Raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-04

Raylib is awesome! It reminds me of the old school days of using BlitzBASIC to get things drawn on screen because it's easy and so much fun. This is how programming used to be, no fuss, just easy to use libraries.

I currently use Raylib with Go and the Go bindings[1] to create screensavers for Linux and I'm really happy with the results.

I even use it at work to draw interactive infrastructure diagrams that animate dependencies, allow controlling start-up etc. It's really flexible and simpler than anything else I've found to get stuff on-screen. I love it!

• pikachu-volleyball

  1 893 5.2 JavaScript

  Pikachu Volleyball implemented into JavaScript by reverse engineering the original game

Project mention: Pikachu Volleyball | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07

Slime volleyball is immediately what I thought of when I tried this. We played a lot of that (and slime soccer!) on the lab computers at school (Canada).

I had no idea Pikachu Volleyball existed, but apparently it predates (1997 [0]) Slime Volleyball (1999 [1]) by a few years. I never realized it was essentially a clone.
