Show HN: Web swing through midtown NYC (swingnyc.com)

[dead]

That was pretty fun actually. Very thoughtful snapping to the nearest possible building to ensure you never end up falling into the nether.

Just played this while sitting in a midtown building. Fun.

Very cool, great job! Would love to know the stack and how the building data was processed to create these models.

Best Clamber-Man video game ever.

I'm not oriented, but am puzzled by the diagonal avenue - it's like a mirrored Broadway?

Haha this is fun, man, well done. As someone who's never been to NYC, how accurate is this, the buildings and streets?

Is it possible to swing smoothly like the spiderman movies? Every swing seems to slam me into a building immediately, then start actually swinging.

Fun.

For all people with VR headsets I'd strongly recommend the game Windlands 2. It's an awesome swinging game. The default settings are more "grapple hook" than swing, but it can be changed.

Fun, and enjoyed the track it uses:

very fun. kind of hard to swing where I want. I often aim for a building in front of me but hook onto something behind me and it throws me off course

I'm not sure it would be more fun, but you could probably ingest openstreetmaps data so it's actually a real manhattan

Very fun! A few tips for others that I learned via struggle: - Use Space to air dash, do it every time after releasing a swing to position yourself for the next swing - Use WASD while swinging to steer away from your anchor point for a nicer swing curve - Otherwise, use pointer to pick your anchor (holding space did not work well for me)

this is so cool

great game, love it. for some reason the mouse gets locked in safari and only option is to hit esc - would suggest to point this out - even more nunaced so that folks are aware
