Show HN: Snaketron – Competitive multiplayer Snake. Back after 14 years

lopatin — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:23:52 +0000

Hi HN, I just completed a rewrite of Snaketron, a competitive multiplayer Snake game. (Yes, yes, in Rust)

A quick funny story about this game's history:

Back in 2012 I had (poorly) implemented the first version of Snaketron. The issue with it was that I was keeping game state on the client, and while I did realize that it was insecure, I also had no idea what to do about it without increasing latency to unplayable levels. I was still in school, never worked on games, and haven't even heard of the term "netcode" before. The excitement of releasing my first pet project got the better of me, and I placed this security concern in the "theoretical issues" bucket, and shipped it.

No one would even notice, and if they did, they wouldn't take the time to break into my little Snake game project, right?

WRONG! Hacker News absolutely lived up to its name. While I was busy with my first experience of handling a traffic surge, scaling up my database and fixing bugs, several players found the security holes and were beginning their Snake rampage. Reports were coming in of unkillable snakes so I decided to start up a game to see if I could catch it.

I loaded a 1v1 and my opponent was ... space invaders. My snake was a snake. Their "snake" was a rendering of the game Space Invaders. Needless to say they were also moving around and were invincible. I really wish I had taken a video of that, but I was floored that HN not just played, but hacked, my project is such an epic way.

I always wanted to rebuild it properly, so here's V2! The architecture and motivations are quite different this time around.

First, the state is server authoritative and lag is compensated for by client-state prediction. The game engine is written in Rust and compiled to WASM for the client side library.

To minimize the ops burden, I also imposed a strict resiliency requirement on this project: it must be auto-scalable. So a node can join the cluster and live games will rebalance to it without disrupting gameplay.

I also tried to make the new Snaketron a little more fun. The core mechanic is still, like classic Snake, collecting food without crashing. But now team matches have an objective to make competitive games more structured. There's also a Bronze to Grand Master ranking sub system (if enough people play, calibrating this will be interesting) and some fun features like boosting, combos, skins, and Play Of The Game detection.

On Rust: One of my original goals for doing this in Rust was so that I could learn the language. That didn't work out as well as I thought it would. Usually I learn by building stuff, but AI got so good that I stopped writing code by hand and preferred to spend my nights & weekends working on what was more intereting to me than borrow checking errors: game design and the high availability stuff.

On AI: Who knows if this would have gotten done without AI. Probably not, what with my day job and other things going on in life. It's 200k LOC (most of that is tests don't worry) but still.

Anyway, here are the project links. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy the game and any feedback is very much appreciated!

Tell HN: HN's IPv6 address is down

nneonneo — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 14:57:02 +0000

HN on IPv4 works fine (209.216.230.207) but appears down on IPv6 (2606:7100:1:67::26), checked from multiple points. None of the HN status monitors appear to catch this. “Happy eyeballs” keeps everything working fine on a dual IPv4/IPv6 network, but in my case I am visiting via a proxy that apparently prefers IPv6, switching over only when it hits a timeout. (It’s a testament to the gradual IPv6 rollout that this works 99.9% of the time!).

Show HN: Murmell – Collaborative cloud canvas for coding agents

Mossab22 — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 14:51:05 +0000

Hey HN!

I'm Moss'Ab. Murmell (https://murmell.com) is an infinite canvas where coding agents run together in the cloud instead of on your laptop.

It's like Google Docs, except the other editors are you, your teammates, and a set of agents all working in the same canvas.

Short demo: https://app.murmell.com/demo

The idea came out of a YC hackathon. We were trying to build the thing under extrem pressure, deploying at the very last minute, but with several agents working in parallel, all the branches collided. Everything broke at the worst possible moment and we spent the end of it untangling instead of building. We didn't win.

Murmell is the thing I wished we'd had that day: one place where the agents and the people can see each other work, on machines that don't belong to any one laptop.

Each canvas gets its own machine in the cloud. Close your laptop and the agents keep going; open it again anywhere, or have a teammate open the same canvas by sending him the link, and you're inside the same session rather than a copy of it. The work stays exactly where you left it : same branches, same dev server still running, so an agent picks up mid-task instead of starting from scratch.

And you can literally collaborate with your team like google docs, it's se same system, read of edit link, they connect they can type on your terminal, you can see their mouse, wich terminal they're typing in. And you can interact wich each other sessions, it's pretty useful instead of sharing a screen, copying a prompt, etc.

The hardest part was building the cloud infrastructure, trying to make it scalable, and to manage the sessions to make the best experience possible: when the VM shuts down, it snapshots everything and restores everything when you come back, even the conversation with your terminal, it's stored with a system that i built like obsidian wich also make you save a little bit of tokens.

So the answer to that hackathon is file claiming. Before an agent works on something, it claims the paths, it's an exclusive lease with a TTL, so nothing stays locked forever because an agent died mid-task. And if another agent asking for the same file gets denied, the denial tells it who holds it, how long is left, and to either pick other work in its scope or message the holder (the agents can communicate through the board)

A watcher classifies every write, so if anything writes inside someone else's claim it shows up on the canvas as a collision right then, instead of as a merge conflict you discover an hour later. And when an agent is done, it can hand its claim to the next one.

And agents never hold your provider keys either, they get a token, and a proxy on the container's loopback swaps it for the real key on the way out, which makes a leaked token worthless outside that container.

Murmell is paid. I've put prices at 50% off for now, because it's still not where I want to take it yet. It is fully usable though: I develop Murmell with Murmell, every day (and tbh it's save soooo much time to us with my cofounder)

And to be fully transparent with the actual prices it costs us much than we are earning but the goal is to collect feedback to make Murmell as good as possible

For context: I'm 19, a 4th year computer engineering student, and I've been on this for about three and a half months, day and night. I discovered claude code after my father showed me first Windsurf (today Devin) for a python homework in 2024, and i think i never went somewhere without my laptop since then lol.

So feel free to comment or to give feedback, or even subscribe to support the project :)

Show HN: Sapporta – build database applications for power users

jasim — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 14:45:48 +0000

Sapporta is an MIT licensed framework built on top of Hono and React.

To me it is a reenactment of dBase, FoxPro, and MS Access, but for the LLM era. All of these tools had application wizards that would create tables, queries, forms, and reports, and I think that is still a valid composition for database applications.

So in Sapporta, the moment you define a table, you immediately get a data-grid that gives you comboboxes for foreign key fields, has sorting, filtering, and the various affordances that tools like AirTable and NocoDB provide.

(The datagrid is built from scratch, as AgGrid, HandsOnTable etc. were commercial and didn't have nested grids with fluid keyboard interaction)

It is also fully agentic - that was what got me started building this in the first place. I was building a double-entry book-keeping system and I wanted my agents to be able to import bank statements, classify them, and insert them into the database accurately. The project, built on Sapporta, does all that now, and agents have been able to reconcile entries and find mistakes that used to be very frustrating when done manually. Being able to operate your database system fully agentically is magical and applying that on our own personal tools is a thing of joy.

The datastore is currently SQLite, and in deployment it can run as a single Node.js process (not even a static file server necessary) and there is a Dockerfile that works seamlessly.

I'm looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks!

I like working on Deno. I like working in CouchDB. I like Deno KV but don’t enjoy the ergonomics of it.

So Cushion was mostly made for my comfort. PouchDB with Deno KV as the storage adapter.

Any recommendations for burning time on your phone in a fun productive way? Chess, ebooks, and HN are my current tops but I’m looking for something creative. Maybe a drawing or coding app? I feel like I’m missing something.

I came across DBYTE, a small programming language

lexsandra56 — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 13:39:25 +0000

I recently came across DBYTE, a small programming language that is still in its early stages. It appears to have started as a personal project for exploring compilers, runtimes, ownership, and native targets. The language is still a work in progress, but there is a website with some documentation and background information. What caught my attention is the longer-term goal of using DBYTE to build an operating system in the language itself. That is still a long way off, but it seems like an interesting project to follow. The source repository is currently unavailable, so I’m linking only the project website for now. I’m curious what people here think about the project and its direction.

Ask HN: How do I make sure ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini forget all prior conversations?

chirau — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 13:25:22 +0000

I am referring to the regular chat, not the API. I want to make sure that every time I start a new chat, it is a completely clean slate with no recall from other chats. I have tried turning off memory, I have also tried prompting it to forget everything, which it claims it has done but hasn't.

Later in the conversation I will see something like, "Given your expertise in..." or "This ties in nicely with your ...", things that it would only know from prior chats.
