Self-hostable multiplayer Parchis game 🎲 - Lemmy.zip
Hey everyone 👋. I just wanted to share a little personal project that grew a bit more than I initially planned. The original idea was simply to build a game so I could play Parchis (Ludo) with my family, as it’s a classic in our household. I ended up building the whole thing entirely through “vibecoding” (AI-assisted coding) because I wanted to see how far I could push current AI tools. The result is a full web multiplayer game (React/Vite frontend + Node/Express/Socket.io [http://socket.io/] backend with SQLite to store game data). If anyone is curious or wants to spin it up on their local network to play with friends/family: 🔗 Repo: https://codeberg.org/baner/parchis [https://codeberg.org/baner/parchis] (it has a docker-compose.yml ready to go in seconds). ⚠️ A big warning about security: As I mentioned, I completely built this relying on AI, and it was initially meant as a home project. I am not a cybersecurity expert by any means. While I have briefly exposed it to the internet a couple of times to play with remote relatives, my absolute recommendation is to host it ONLY on your local network (LAN) or behind a VPN (like Tailscale/Wireguard). The nature of AI-generated code means it’s probably full of vulnerabilities that I haven’t caught. Play at your own risk if you decide to open ports to the wild web! 😅 This is also my first project using a monorepo structure and publishing a Docker image for others to deploy. If you take a look and see something horrible (or something that works surprisingly well haha), all feedback is super welcome. I hope someone finds it fun for a local game night!

Reality of the Discord and its alternatives - Lemmy.World
There is no truer adage to me than nothings is perfect. And when it comes to anything related to Discord it’s no different. Discord itself to me has been an issue for years. Its use of data collection, the obsession of companies trying to buy it all were concerning. For me the latest age verification just further reinforces my beliefs. That being said the majority of users who ignored all this and kept going nothing would change. Most people I know use Discord lightly and aren’t in large chats that use hentai gifs. I still would tell anyone who would listen to get out of dodge. But if you never cared about data usage then yeah maybe not care. For all the alternatives out there truth is none are really anywhere near perfect. Matrix and most of its clients while encrypted don’t offer true jump in /jump out game chat. More a kin to Skype really. Foss Discord implementations like Spacebar are to all over the place and for me are not really functional. Stoat while probably my favorite is still really small and not holding up to the stress of the user influx. And of course it’s missing “discord features” and the new kid Fluxer while appealing is still to new and it’s monetization model a little to concerning. 300 bucks as a backer for unproven project ? And of course with the exception of Matrix none of the other projects offer encryption. Truth is no option really is ideal. Truth is all the options have some pretty serious flaws. And truth is getting your large swaths of friends to move might be close to impossible. So if you are looking to move please do some digging. Ask people who use the apps their opinions. Try to as a group of friends chose to make a move. And the final truth is it’s a really good thing we finally have some options. No matter the flaws having competition brings innovation. I hope this posts helps clear up some things for people who might be confused or concerned.

Working on a Small Reflex Game Called SwipeFury - Lemmy.World
I’ve been experimenting with a simple swipe-based reflex game in my free time. Blocks rush upward from the bottom of the screen, and the goal is to swipe each one before it slips past. If even one gets through, the run ends. I also added some experimental block types: ⚡ Slow-motion block that briefly slows everything down 🔴 Tough red block that needs multiple swipes It’s just a small prototype, but I’m trying to see how it behaves on different devices. If anyone wants to try the test build and tell me how it feels, here it is: https://lly-boob.github.io/ [https://lly-boob.github.io/] Still improving it, so any feedback helps. 🙏
