Show HN: Destroy Any Website with Stickman

If anything, Spritefusion seems to be higher quality, especially when destroying text.

1h agoHN ↗

For me, on librewolf, the entire opposite is true. Spritefusion looks like an extemely buggy thingy while PageRage works incredibly well

hey, maker here. I have no idea of this one, looks pretty cool! I've rolled out my stickman game here with deep care on everything, from DO multiplayer setup, to game-feel.

Seems a little suspect that you didn't know about the other one given how similar the game mechanics work, down to the jetpack to fly around.

It is possible to both make a copy of something, and also do it with deep care and add more features, no?

This is one of my favorite things I've ever stumbled across on HN

Oh this is lovely. I started doing something similar, but I was generating the stage based on the DOM and some CSS features, but kept getting weird boundaries (read: the character would float on unseen edges)

I later thought about using an edge-detection algorithm to capture the page as an image (triggered on page events), but never fully implemented it and shelved the project.

I would love to know how you captured the visible edges

This is the first thing I thought of when I clicked on the post. Great memories!

2h agoHN ↗

Can't stop , won't stop playing it LOL

Really guys? Detecting a desktop web browser as a "mobile phone" just because the window is sized to be taller than it is wide? Then refusing to let you use the website?

1h agoHN ↗

Remembers me of PageRage, the latter works much better on firefox and is an extension

1h agoHN ↗

Lots of new accounts (created a few hours ago) are posing comments lie "Great fun" or stuff like that. Are these bots?

1h agoHN ↗

This was surely fun, never played such a game before. Is it competitive when we are playing the multiplayer mode?

I am the creator of Page Rage (https://page-rage.com/), which I released about two weeks ago. Page Rage didn't get too much traction on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49746963), but it did end up being a top post on r/webdev (https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1whepc7/page_rage_d...) and r/playmygame (https://www.reddit.com/r/playmygame/comments/1whfp3g/my_firs...)

The linked project "Destroy any website" makes it's own distinct creative and gameplay choices. It may have been inspired by Page Rage or it may have been a case of "multiple discovery". Either way, "Destroy any website" is not a low quality slop clone, it's clearly had a lot of thought put into it
