This is as if you handed a vibe coder a transcript of a text adventure you bought on tape for £2 back in 1983 and told it to make something vaguely like it.

Does anyone involved in creating this speak English? The first room I go to is the "Engineering Putrid Pyramid". I'm visiting places with names like "Iridescent Event horizon" or "Storage Dim Study" or "Maintenance unsettling Lobby". Title case doesn't work like that. Implicit order of adjectives doesn't work like that.

Arrrgh. I need to go play a real text adventure to clean my head out now.

The descriptions and titles are generated by a script. They have nothing to do with vibe coding.

Same feeling. After scratching my head at some of the descriptions I decided to just head as far southeast as I could. I was met with a bunch of edgy comments and a penis drawn on the screen.

AI also doesn't work like that unless it's extremely bad, but you're free to rant about nothing, nonetheless.

You might want to add even the most basic input filtering

No clue what this is actually about but the drawing collaboration is cool

That was unexpectedly fun. After realizing you might need to go down to keep going up, I gave up.
kyrylo·12 เดือนที่ผ่านมา
Haha, I actually struggled to find the way out myself. I thought it was unbeatable, but luckily, someone managed to beat it pretty quickly.

the layout shift due to the inconsistent size of the text makes clicking NSEW super annoying. Id love to see that fixed!
kyrylo·12 เดือนที่ผ่านมา
How would you fix it?
eddd-ddde·12 เดือนที่ผ่านมา
You could place the buttons first then the text.
kyrylo·12 เดือนที่ผ่านมา
Yeah that solves the issue but imo it breaks the flow

Whoever's writing racist shit, I hope you step on a lego.

Someone hacked it. People go to great lengths to vandalize

It seems you are letting any client with a session token update the entire wall. The endpoint simply takes the base64 PNG and sets it as the wall.

I was thinking maybe taking a diff, limiting its maximum area, and rate-limiting might at least discourage that.
kyrylo·12 เดือนที่ผ่านมา
Thanks for the heads-up. You’re absolutely right! Rate-limiting could help, but it would make quick strokes difficult, so I decided against it.

I’ve already implemented a few measures, but I’d rather not share the details publicly.

No more Trump
