Show HN: Tiny game made overnight for the 2020 Blender 24hr art competition It was Saturday night, deep into a dark chocolate bar and well-paired Cabernet, when Cranksy [0] pinged me on IRC gauging interest in collaborating on this year's Blender [1] competition. "Would it be too much work to just throw an ANSI on the screen and play an ogg file?" he asked. Inebriated enough to get a little enthusiastic about something like this, I joined #blender on efnet, and noted this year's words had already been chosen. "Damn, we've got a late start." I thought as I read the channel's topic: Monkeys / Rescuing / Between Realities It must have been all the COVID-19 news I've been endlessly assaulted with, because it was immediately clear that these words would fit perfectly with a game of monkeys saving other monkeys from viruses by transporting them to another reality. A bottle of wine and one sleepless night of drunken coding later and a tiny game [2] is born. WARNING: there's a potentially NSFW ANSI graphic in-game, if ANSI can possibly be considered NSFW. Unusual for these kinds of things, I'm also releasing the entire C source code [3] of everything needed to rebuild and fork/hack if desired. The only external dependencies are SDL2, SDL_Mixer, whatever those pull in like libvorbis/libogg, and OpenGL. If you clone the repository, be sure to use a recursive clone as there are submodules. Also, if you'd like to be notified via email of interesting creations like these, you can submit your email address in the text box @ http://pengaru.com. If you're interested in collaborating on making demos, intros, or video games, reach out - I prefer email, Cranksy is on twitter. Please be kind to my server, hopefully it doesn't get hugged to death, thanks!

Show HN: Infstream – We’re trying to fix video monetization for creators TL;DR: https://ift.tt/2VFChrA Hi HN – we’re Ben & Callum from Infstream. We’ve always been heavy users of YouTube, for entertainment, education and sharing. Towards the end of last year, we saw more and more horror stories of YouTubers losing their livelihood to the ad algorithm. We decided to build a content-first video platform, which aims to reduce issues by removing advertisers from the equation. Instead, we charge for the content you watch – bold, I know. Instead of paying in advertising and data, users on Infstream build their own streaming package, a channel at a time. Anyone can start a channel (US & UK now, Europe soon) and earn directly from their subscribers. Subscribers pay $1 per month per channel, of which the channel receives $0.75. This all begins from the first subscriber, there are no minimums to start monetization. Channels have total control, and can publish on a daily, weekly or monthl...
