Finally! I added multiplayer to my browser-based WebGL card game, Summoners. Multiplayer is a really common request. You pick your deck and then send the URL to a friend. They can join even if they don't have an account. It's free to play and live on the site now....

Nice! "next turn" should be "end turn". It's very confusing even just watching the video.

Just played a game, was fun! Some quick feedback (I'm already in toomany Discord 😓): Hovering a card to read what it does was difficult. The cards un-hovers alot when moving the cursor off the text. Balancing feels off: opponent seemed to have way more minions than me?

Cool idea and looks quite polished! Quick feedback. Grab hand cursor kinda hide card texts, making it harder to read. "Summon 3 daggers" gave me 3 hand cards unexpectedly instead of something on the field. At least that's what summon means in Yu Gi Oh

Ah yes, I need to update that card’s text. Thanks for the reminder and the feedback.

🔌Today I created a virtual web-based null modem so now you can finally play Quake 1 (from 1996) in multiplayer in the browser with other people online! This week I was able to create a virtual printer that listens on the COM2 port to make a web-based printer work in Windows 3.11, like on you can actually print to, it was one of my ideas when I started but it was always too difficult to make, I had no idea where to start, but this week AI was able to do it! Today I woke up and thought "if we can listen to COM2 via JS, how about listen to COM1 from Quake 1?" then we could forward the COM1 data via Websockets and to another user to create a virtual null modem (A null modem was a cable you'd use to connect two computers to each other directly in the 90s, if you couldn't afford buying a network card you'd use this to network, but you could only play with one other computer not multiple) So I built it, it took about an hour and works! I wanted to get Quake 1 in DOS to work with multiplayer for 2 years but I could never get it to work, but now it did it This project is a good benchmark of how capable AI is becoming, figuring stuff out that humans would take months within an hour You can try it here, I don't know how it will match lots of people but let's see, you have to exit to DOS first (ALT-F4 or FN-Option-F4 on Mac), then type CD games, then CD quake, then quake, then ESC, then Multiplayer, then either Create New Game or Join Game, and use Direct Connect, keep settings same and you're in!
