Show HN: Mini Metroidvania in 13KB of JavaScript

As part of the annual JS13K games challenge, I've put together a pretty large (but small-in-code) Metroidvania game that fits in just 13KB of compressed Javascript.<p>The source is available here: <a href="https://github.com/arikwex/infernal-sigil" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/arikwex/infernal-sigil</a><p>NOTE: the current head of the main branch is at 13.6KB due to quality of life patches. The legit 13KB version is tagged in github.<p>Useful hacks: - Using Roadroller (<a href="https://github.com/lifthrasiir/roadroller" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lifthrasiir/roadroller</a>) for compression - Compressing the map data as grayscale PNG paired with some code generation. - Using procedural animation for all characters. - Replacing string enum with numeric enums for compression. - Built a small game engine for object lifecycle and rendering. - Single function to generate unique procedural songs for different regions.

Show HN: Stripe-quality API client libraries with a single button click

TL;DR- Libninja will generate world-class client libraries for you, without you needing to fiddle with openapi-generator, maintain build pipelines, and so forth.<p>If you just want Rust, reach out, and I'll create your client library at no cost, because I want to help Rust's ecosystem grow.<p>--<p>Hi HN,<p>I got into Rust in a big way about 9 months ago.<p>While the language is quickly maturing, one large gap in the ecosystem is immature or non-existent client libraries for common API services like Plaid, Stripe, Twilio, Github, Slack, and so on.<p>The existing openapi-generator templates create Rust libraries that don't even compile out of the box, so I started down the rabbit hole of creating a Rust-based toolchain to generate Rust client libraries based on an OpenAPI spec.<p>Rust is an incredible language to build codegen tools in, because of algebraic data types, Rust macro system, and Rust's incredibly powerful libraries for AST transformation (quote, syn, and more - almost solely due to dtolnay - thank you!)<p>Before long, I realized it's a common painpoint for API companies to maintain build pipelines, tweak openapi-generator templates, and so forth, to get client library generation working.<p>I added support for more languages, and soon after, Libninja was born.<p>If you're an API company, Libninja will generate world-class client libraries for you.<p>Client libraries: - help your users integrate faster (meaning you get revenue faster) - reduce the number of bug reports and support requests (because there's no ambiguity about using your API) - Give your users a phenomenal developer experience (editor autocomplete, API documentation in docstrings, and more)<p>PS- If you just want a Rust client, reach out, and I'll create your client library at no cost, because I want to help Rust's ecosystem grow.

Show HN: Hacker News bot that automated archive finding and commenting

Hi everyone,<p>I build this bot to automate the process of going to wayback machine (or archive.ph) to find the archive link for posts with articles that have subscription blocks<p>The idea was to have this run on a server and then I wouldn’t have this daily annoyance, the bot was banned, so its not currently active, but I still wanted to show it off and get some feedback<p>Disclaimer : HN doesn't allow bots, so please don’t use this to run your own HN bot.
