Show HN: TermType – a terminal typing game where words fall like Space Invaders

J_cst — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 12:48:35 +0000

A typing game that runs entirely in your terminal - no GUI. Words fall from the top and you type them before they reach the water line, or die.

Hi Savva, drop me an email so that I can send you the credentials to have a look around. The system is at https://www.runway-crm.eu/ but you'll need a key. j@costantini.pw

Runway, a CRM. It's looking great, near to its first public release, built on market standards. If anyone's interested just ping me, mail handler on profile, ciao. p.s. still wondering about the licensing to adopt to balance different matters/desires.

That's the answer of his LLM which has decomposed the question and built the answer following the op prompt obviously. I think you didn't get it.

I use RooCode and find it quite effective with the ability to switch agents and models within the tasks currently. I recently moved from Cline to RooCode.

Exactly the same here... Same happens when I see the word 'file' written somewhere (which in Italian means queues, and I'm Italian), and I read it as the English IT word 'file'. This always make me lightly smile.

It seems from a sibling comment that I'm totally wrong when I state that speaking English in Greece may be difficult. I stated that based on my personal perception only, so probably I'm wrong. Sorry for the misinformation.

OMG? Is this comment serious? Greece is in Europe, planet earth and not a desolated land on Mars! Greeks are of Mediterranean culture, mainly open and friendly. They deal with tourists from all over the world since maaaaaaany years and they know the business. I believe that the most difficult part can be the language, as generally speaking - don't know why - in Greece not many people speak fluently English (also in Italy we have the same problem!!). Other that that, great sea, great food, great great ancient culture and history to discover, nice and bubbly people. Book your tickets and don't be afraid! And yes, greek people have two arms, two legs, two eyes and they are not little green pale creatures!! J/k, enjoy your time there, and welcome to Europe!

Thank you for bringing a different worldview to the discussion. I realize that my comment was Euro (or West) centric, but that wasn't intentional. I appreciate your perspective, as it adds valuable context and enriches the conversation. It's interesting to see how cultural differences shape attitudes toward gaming, and your insights have certainly given me something to think about. Thank you for that.

Some time ago I read an article explaining that initially games used to sell upgrades which were making the player stronger in multi-player games. The net result was that the games were loosing players because that mechanic was seen as unfair (pay to win). So they switched to aesthetics enhancements only and that resulted the correct strategy to have in game sales and not loosing players. Unfortunately cannot remember further details to prove this memory, sorry.
