Show HN: I rebuilt my 2008 soccer/lineup site

tole42 — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 19:08:47 +0000

I originally built fantastic11.com in 2008. The browser-based lineup editor alone took me several months to build. Here’s an old demo video from that time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27_Bx4Z8nbE / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU_DBT8mOXU Over the years, I added a few smaller features, but as a father of three, I rarely had much time left for this side project. This week, I rebuilt the entire site in just a few days using Codex and a $20 subscription. What surprised me wasn’t only the speed. The new version ended up being much more complete than the original. The workflow still feels strange: I describe what I want, spend some time with my children or take care of things around the house, then come back to find much of the implementation ready to review. It’s a very different way of building software, and I’m still getting used to it. You can try the new version here: https://fantastic11.com

I’d be happy to hear your feedback—on the site itself or on similar experiences rebuilding old projects with coding agents.

Show HN: I had models play Slime Soccer against each other

cshdllr — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 14:24:12 +0000

There were a few things that I wanted from this ai benchmark: * The models to compete directly with each other * To be able to _see_ how they were competing * Something more fun than a math test

Slime Soccer (a web game from my childhood) was like a good option since the decision set is small for each move and it felt nostalgic.

The most surprising thing is that the flagship models from each lab didn't always do best. For example, GPT 5.6 Sol was almost the worst performing model from OpenAI.

Show HN: OpenSoccer – open-source soccer game in browser in 128 prompts

artahian — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:04:26 +0000

I built an open-source soccer arcade game clone with Modelence in 128 prompts, inspired by the 2026 World Cup and EA FC (aka FIFA). As far as I searched, there was nothing else you could play in browser, so I decided to give it a go, even though Modelence is primarily made for SaaS and not games. This is as far as I could get.

Recorded the progress, so you can see it going from just two circles to an actual 11 vs 11 players with "proper" dynamics: https://youtu.be/RO1I3ML8iPk

Link to the live game: https://worldcup2026.modelence.ai

GitHub repo: https://github.com/modelence/open-soccer

Features:

- Similar controls to EA FC / FIFA on PC

- All 48 World Cup 2026 teams with their real kits and players

- All players have their actual skill scores mapped (pace, dribbling, shooting, passing, defending, physicality), so faster players actually run faster, etc.

Not sure if it's worth adding online mode, slightly bigger commitment - let me know if you'd ever play it.
