Show HN: Mechs.lol – a free, web-based autoshooter game (mechs.lol)

4 points by spaceships 1mo ago ↗ HN

One unexpected benefit of LLMs is I can work on projects I otherwise wouldn't have taken on. I made a web-based autoshooter (with multiplayer support) heavily using AI / LLMs.

This is something I'd consider "alpha" quality so don't expect a super polished experience but it's hopefully fun

This was more fun than I was expecting. Nice way to waste 20 min!

Lured me in more than I expected. Sure it's a clone of Vampires or any other similar game. But who can say no to Mechs?

The beginning is a little slow and it takes some time running around and avoiding opponents until you manage to access at least two upgrades. But it's fun and I have it bookmarked.

It's webrtc and a super light signaling setup
