Show HN: Moongate – Ultima Online server emulator in .NET 10 with Lua scripting

squidleon — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:22:59 +0000

I've been building a modern Ultima Online server emulator from scratch. It's not feature-complete (no combat, no skills yet), but the foundation is solid and I wanted to share it early.

What it does today: - Full packet layer for the classic UO client (login, movement, items, mobiles) - Lua scripting for item behaviors (double-click a potion, open a door — all defined in Lua, no C# recompile) - Spatial world partitioned into sectors with delta sync (only sends packets for new sectors when crossing boundaries) - Snapshot-based persistence with MessagePack - Source generators for automatic DI wiring, packet handler registration, and Lua module exposure - NativeAOT support — the server compiles to a single native binary - Embedded HTTP admin API + React management UI - Auto-generated doors from map statics (same algorithm as ModernUO/RunUO)

Tech stack: .NET 10, NativeAOT, NLua, MessagePack, DryIoc, Kestrel

What's missing: Combat, skills, weather integration, NPC AI. This is still early — the focus so far has been on getting the architecture right so adding those systems doesn't require rewiring everything.

Why not just use ModernUO/RunUO? Those are mature and battle-tested. I started this because I wanted to rethink the architecture from scratch: strict network/domain separation, event-driven game loop, no inheritance-heavy item hierarchies, and Lua for rapid iteration on game logic without recompiling.

Show HN: Jido 2.0, Elixir Agent Framework

mikehostetler — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:48:52 +0000

Hi HN!

I'm the author of an Elixir Agent Framework called Jido. We reached our 2.0 release this week, shipping a production-hardened framework to build, manage and run Agents on the BEAM.

Jido now supports a host of Agentic features, including:

- Tool Calling and Agent Skills - Comprehensive multi-agent support across distributed BEAM processes with Supervision - Multiple reasoning strategies including ReAct, Chain of Thought, Tree of Thought, and more - Advanced workflow capabilities - Durability through a robust Storage and Persistence layer - Agentic Memory - MCP and Sensors to interface with external services - Deep observability and debugging capabilities, including full stack OTel

I know Agent Frameworks can be considered a bit stale, but there hasn't been a major release of a framework on the BEAM. With a growing realization that the architecture of the BEAM is a good match for Agentic workloads, the time was right to make the announcement.

My background is enterprise engineering, distributed systems and Open Source. We've got a strong and growing community of builders committed to the Jido ecosystem. We're looking forward to what gets built on top of Jido!

Come build agents with us!
