Show HN: I'm organizing a vibe coding game dev competition

pieterhg — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 12:47:17 +0000

Hi everyone,

I just saw a vibe coded game on HN, and thought maybe I should post about this here.

I'm organizing a vibe coding game dev competition called Vibe Jam.

Last year we did it too and there was 1000+ games submitted.

This year the deadline is May 1 and you can submit your games until then.

There's $35,000 in prizes with the Gold prize being $20,000.

Let me know what you think!

-Pieter

Awesome. Can you add extra bright mode like Vivid? I'd love to get rid of Vivid cause it's so buggy and never re-enables after I close my MacBook Pro

You can see how mIRC looked and use it on my site https://pieter.com on a working IRC server with a working dial up connection with Winsock and a real ISP made by @bai0

Also has Hacker News in Gopher!

This is amazing.

Are there any Windows 3.11 programs that support PLATO?

I'd love to add this by default on my virtual PC at pieter.com.

pieterhg — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 20:25:30 +0000

Yep but getting your luggage back is the responsibility of airlines (and usually whoever they outsource to).

That means airlines that cheap out on that will rank higher for lost luggage because they'll get more mentions on social media for lost luggage (usually after days of not getting it back!).

The airlines that return luggage fast won't show up on social media as much.

Too difficult to use.

Start with the upload image box then give them a URL

But unlock it only if they then continue to Stripe payment with recurring plan

Only 0.1% will convert but that's OK if you get traffic

Same it was super slow and unusable when I tried. 10 seconds for a reply or smth. GPT4 API itself was way faster

Reality is probably nobody cares about your backups with old files. Except maybe photos/videos. But even that's to be debated. You're not that important.

Sorry I'm not US, with 1/2 cent I meant 1 to 2 cent. Actually it's more like 1-4 cents depending on image dimensions. A square image is 1 cent, a wide image can be 4 cents. But yes it's not cheap
