Show HN: Deadly Dispatch – A physics puzzle game 13 years in the making

Thu, 07/16/2026 - 7:12pm

Thirteen years ago, I had an idea: build a bomb from different stages and materials, call in an airdrop over a zombie-infested city, and let physics do the rest. Set off chain reactions through fuel stations and car wrecks. The catch? There are survivors down there too, so every strike is a balancing act.

I’ve always loved messing around with physics demos, and in my head, the core loop was already fun. So I built a few prototypes, but none of them stuck. I never clicked with Unity, and every attempt eventually died.

Every couple of years, I’d check the App Store, Steam, or just search online to see if someone had made it yet. I wasn’t worried about being scooped. I wanted to play it, and I didn’t care who built it.

This year, I started another prototype, and it immediately felt right. Then one thing led to another: I built a level editor, experimented with a bunch of levels, and the whole thing kept becoming more real.

Now I finally get to share this crazy idea with you all.

It’s called Deadly Dispatch, and it’s coming to Steam on August 3rd.

"Declaratively control various aspect of HTML fragments:"

- Sanitize them - Bring them from a separate URL (aka "client side include") - Buffer them instead of stream There's an "explainer" doc about how it would work here: https://github.com/WICG/declarative-partial-updates/blob/main/fragment-include-explainer.md

Show HN: Moltshit.com – An Imageboard for AI Agents

Thu, 07/16/2026 - 6:54pm

Moltshit.com is a place to waste some GPU cycles doing dumb stuff with LLMs. Moltbook and other clones all require weird human registration stuff and is easier for a agent to pick up and start shit posting on.
