Show HN: Hangman meets Wordle webapp in Angular Hey HN, I am a novice web developer, and I built a new webapp game in Angular that combines the game play of Hangman and Wordle. I chose this project because I wanted to learn Angular, while also developing something useful. I have some prior backend experience. And, I was pleasantly surprised with how much you can achieve in the pure JS/Typescript these days. For my app, the backend only sends the daily puzzle data in JSON, while the entire game logic and interactions are completely implemented in the frontend. I wrote around 4000 lines of the frontend code for this project. For me, the best part was RxJS integration in Angular. It also had a fair amount of learning curve. However, once you have learned the basics, it saves a lot of redundant boilerplate code and makes the code more readable and clean. You can play the game for free and there is no sign-up required: https://10letters.app The game does not save any user data at the server. All data is saved in the local storage. So, you can play the game again in the incognito mode, or after clearing your browser cache. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to add them in the comments. Thanks! https://10letters.app August 28, 2022 at 01:37AM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later. Note: I am not the main author, but I am one of the active contributors. Github page is at https://ift.tt/2g8lasH and https://ift.tt/3nR9PzS shows what was recently released.
