Show HN: ACOS: Build and share competitive turn-based browser games Hi everyone, This is a little tech demo I've been working on the past 2 years. It's been up for 1 year now, and has since had a few major updates. I have a soft spot for games with ranking systems, and I wanted an easy way for developers to create games with the competitive element abstracted away. The current games are built with ReactJS, so it's pretty easy to onboard if you are a web developer. All games developed for ACOS come with these features: - Real-time turn-based for browser - Simulator for game development - Client / Server architecture - Easy multiplayer with simple JSON game state update - Single player, Team-based, Battle Royale, and Free-for-all games supported - Matchmaking for Rank / Casual play - Room Scoreboard - Game Replays of every match - Error Logs - Global Rankings - Global Top Scores - GitHub Integration with acosgames organization - Discord Integration for matchmaking / game events - Simple deployment and version management It's a ridiculous endeavor, but I'd like to invite the world to my playground and help me drive features and technology forward. I may allow AI bot battles in the future against any of the hosted games, but I will prioritize based on the will of the people.

Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
