I wrote the “ai” for one of the early popular forks of Slime Volleyball. I have a lot of fond memories! Recently I wrote a modern interpretation of the game in pure TypeScript/html canvas. It requires a real keyboard or gamepad - sorry no phones. Some of the single player ooponents are pretty fun. It’s at https://tippycoco.com and it’s all open source.
You’re probably in the process of learning this now, but in case you’re just getting started: effective multiple myeloma treatments are being approved at an astonishing rate. It was a death sentence 20 years ago. Now it’s indefinitely treatable for many people.
A close family member was diagnosed 5 years ago and went through a stem cell transplant at Dana farber and the cancer still hasn’t returned…although statistically by now I believe it should have. But when it does return there is now a massive menu of next treatments for her that will likely hold it at bay.
Things are changing so fast now that I’m not sure the stem cell treatment is the first step.
