The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: The Lion King (SNES, 1994), running as a native PC program · score 7.3

  TLKRecomp is a static recompilation of the SNES game The Lion King, translating its 65816 assembly into C for native execution on modern platforms. It leverages the snesrecomp toolchain to achieve high accuracy, verified against emulator references and speedruns, and adds modern enhancements like widescreen, shaders, and practice tools. The project demonstrates a novel approach to game preservation and porting, though its utility is primarily for retro gaming enthusiasts and speedrunners.

• Show HN: Audio-chat-box – offline speech in and out for any program, over stdio · score 6.8

  audio-chat-box is a Rust-based offline speech-to-text and text-to-speech service that communicates over stdio using JSON-RPC, allowing any program to add voice capabilities without handling audio devices or cloud APIs. It leverages sherpa-onnx with Kokoro, Parakeet, and Silero VAD models, and supports hotwords for domain-specific vocabulary. Its clean protocol and self-contained model management make it a practical building block for local-first AI applications.

• Show HN: Learn to program a modular synthesizer in the browser · score 6.3

  Ostra is a browser-based modular synthesizer with an interactive tutorial, dozens of modules, and the ability to record and save patches as WAV files. It lowers the barrier to entry for experimenting with modular synthesis by eliminating the need for expensive hardware or software installation.

• Show HN: A Piet interpreter compiled to a Piet image, running a Piet program · score 6.0

  This project is a Piet interpreter (for the esoteric Piet programming language) compiled into a Piet image itself, which runs a Piet program—a meta-circular self-interpreter. It's a fascinating demonstration of computational self-reference and esolang engineering, executed in the browser via a WebAssembly interpreter for the Blimp language.
