Thanks for building this! Am getting a "Cannot connect to server muchassemblyrequired.com:443" error. When I try to enter the live demo. Is it just an overloaded server?

Have definitely noticed an explosion of Learn Assembly / Low Level Hacking genre video games coming out. And can definitely see how this will soon become a part of "Computation Structures" courses. Even at the secondary school level. Keep it up!

If you are craving a more penetrating discourse on how technology is affecting the modern mating game. I'd give a listen to this enlightening interview noted couples therapist Esther Perel gave on a recent episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross. She makes the point that due to social media, etc. there is now what amounts to a paper trail for our assignations. And a mere "like" is enough to constitute a form of cheating ;)

As Marriage Standards Change, A Therapist Recommends 'Rethinking Infidelity'

https://www.npr.org/2017/12/13/570131890/as-marriage-standar...

While it may be impossible to empirically quantify if humans are enjoying less intimacy than a generation ago. I do see a danger that the erotic sphere is becoming abstracted away from its powerful roots by modern alienation. To get that mojo back, is to return to more ritualistic practices. Perhaps inspired by ancient rites of fertility common to all cultures. Akin to the way farm-to-table and slow food movements can cure one of the malaise that arises from prolonged daily exposure to Seamless dinners without any connection to Nature.

But then again, my cure for almost any modern ailment tends to be to look to the ancients!

Seems quite laggy, although its probably worse due to hn front-page. I tried writing a multiplayer tron when I was around 16 which was only meant for lan and it still suffered from lag in really close combat situations. Granted I didn't have any resources to read up on how to deal with network delay or jitter, since this was before the time I had access to the eternal wisdom of the internet. (And probably wouldn't have understood most of the technical aspects. I read an article about halo's netcode a while ago and was blown away by how sophisticated this stuff has gotten)

Congrats on launching, Zach! Wondering if massively mutltiplayer CLI games are the Next Big Thing for procrastinating programmers? Instead of something that requires 30 fps rendition, however, it may be prudent to start with an HQ Trivia style multiple choice live game show ;)

Not bad $300 retail. Looks like a great way to get into microtuning and atonal scales for electronic music as well ;)

High Performance Browser Networking by Ilya Grigorik is a canonical resource. Lots of deep historical and technical background on WebRTC. As well as WebSockets, HTTP/2, TLS, UDP, TCP, and much more.

https://hpbn.co/

Then for a practical example, try this Codelab on Real time communication with WebRTC:

https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/webrtc-web/#...

Once you are ready to build your own prototype. You can check out existing implementations from PeerJS, SimpleWebRTC, SIP.js, and Twilio.

Although it is relatively easy to invent your own. Dedicated third party cloud providers such as Twilio are quite mature. Best of luck!
