Show HN: I rebuilt my AI browser game using 100 pieces of feedback from HN
In February I posted a rough AI browser‑game prototype and asking game dev tips. Then I got about 100 comments that really helped. I went back, rewrote most of it, and here’s the current state:
What’s new - Endless world with mountains, lakes, and altitude‑based snow - Living systems – trees grow, bears roam and charge if you trespass - View switch – press V for first‑ or third‑person on the fly - Guest mode – no login, just play - Type‑anything crafting – enter “wooden glider,” “big wall,” “steak,” etc with proper materials; AI invents the recipe and stats
Still many things are raw and not-ready, but I want to keep sharing progress and gathering feedbacks.
If you try it, I’d love to hear where it falls apart first and whether the core loop feels fun.
Thanks for any feedback!

Show HN: Prompt Compression for LLMs App
Hi HN!
I've noticed that as the applications of LLMs continue to expand, the demand for tokens is increasing, which also brings significant cost burdens to users. Currently, there aren't many effective prompt compression products on the market, so I've created a simple demo site: https://hello-llm.com.
This application includes two features: lossy compression and lossless compression.
1. Lossy compression allows users to specify the compression ratio and is faster; 2. Lossless compression lets the model determine the compression ratio, aiming to retain as much useful information as possible, albeit slower.
This is just a demo, and I plan to assess its feasibility and gather enough feedback before deciding whether to launch a formal product. Everyone is welcome to try it out!
