Show HN: Open-source shooter which made it to AC: Valhalla and Skydio drones
So just for fun, I wrote a complete multiplayer game in pure C++. I even wrote my own texture atlas packer, which is now used by Assassin's Creed, 2 scientific publications as well as a drone manufacturing company - each of these basically mentions the name of my game. There is even a claim that Unity patented some of the ECS ideas that originate from this project. See <a href="https://github.com/TeamHypersomnia/Hypersomnia#tech-highlights">https://github.com/TeamHypersomnia/Hypersomnia#tech-highligh...</a> for details.<p>By the way the game is pretty darn good. 10 people connected yesterday to test a new map:
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHLPzZqANlM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHLPzZqANlM</a><p>It took me well over 10 years to code it all by hand, but the journey was truly worth it.

Show HN: WinGPT – AI assistant for Windows 3.1
Hey HN, I didn't want my Gateway 4DX2-66 from 1993 to be left out of the AI revolution, so I built an AI Assistant for Windows 3.1, based on the OpenAI API.<p>The most interesting parts of building this were:<p>- Getting TLS 1.2 and 1.3 working on Windows 3.1 so that WinGPT could directly connect to OpenAI's server without relying on a modern machine for TLS termination.<p>- Learning about the memory segmentation architecture on 16-bit Windows, including the difference between <i>far</i> and <i>near</i> pointers.<p>- Building the UI in plain C code with the Windows API and limited selection of controls in Windows 3.1.<p>You can check it out here and learn more about what it was like to build it: <a href="https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/</a>

Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser
Hi HN, I recently created and published an open-source resume builder as a weekend project. The idea came to me while I was mentoring students and noticing common mistakes they made in their resumes that I had also made in the past. I thought to build a tool to help people easily create a modern professional resume with built-in best practices to avoid those mistakes.<p>Top highlights of the resume builder are:<p>1. Real time UI update as you type<p>2. ATS friendly to top ATS platforms, e.g. Greenhouse, Lever<p>3. Privacy focus - no sign up is required and data is stored locally in browser that only users have access<p>4. Support import from existing resume PDF<p>The tool also includes a resume parser to help people test their existing resumes’ ATS readability if they might not be interested in using the builder. I also explained the parser algorithm in an article with interactive tables that might be an interesting read to see the steps and logics it uses (<a href="https://www.open-resume.com/resume-parser" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.open-resume.com/resume-parser</a>).<p>I hope others might find this tool useful and I look forward to hearing any feedback the community has. Thanks all.<p>Home Page: <a href="https://open-resume.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://open-resume.com</a><p>Github Repo: <a href="https://github.com/xitanggg/open-resume">https://github.com/xitanggg/open-resume</a><p>Product Hunt: <a href="https://producthunt.com/posts/openresume" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://producthunt.com/posts/openresume</a>

Show HN: 400 sites to submit your startup to, reviewed
I scraped more than 400 urls that were listed as supposed good places to launch a startup. I checked out each one, and found a lot of neglected sites, domains for sale, sites asking a lot of money to list your startup, etc. I made notes about my experience with each. I think this could be useful to other startups.

Show HN: Factiverse AI editor – Fact-checking text made smarter and simpler
Heya HN, after 7 years of dedicated work, we're thrilled to unveil Factiverse AI Editor - a revolutionary tool to validate or debunk factual claims in any text, including AI-generated content.<p>Here's how it works: Our cutting-edge machine learning models analyze your text and identify check-worthy claims. We then scour search engines like Google, Bing, and Wikipedia, alongside manual fact-checks, to retrieve supporting and disputing evidence. The credibility of each source is carefully assessed using another machine learning model trained on expert fact-checks.<p>Try out the Factiverse AI Editor at <a href="https://editor.factiverse.ai/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://editor.factiverse.ai/</a> and be sure to sign up and provide feedback on our Product Hunt page at <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/posts/factiverse-ai-editor" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.producthunt.com/posts/factiverse-ai-editor</a> or directly within the app.<p>To get started, check out our tutorial video at <a href="https://youtu.be/rMBHHfn6mk0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/rMBHHfn6mk0</a> and hear a special message from the founders at <a href="https://youtu.be/Ri5rR_clpxg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/Ri5rR_clpxg</a>.
