An ode to my youth, Hacker Mystery 95 is set in a more optimistic era of computing, where Hackers were freedom fighters, and BBSes were our weapons!
Built in enyo, and co-developed with Claude Code, Hacker Mystery 95 was designed for the HP TouchPad and modern web browsers with a landscape orientation (not optimized for phones!) Thanks to Palm's foresight, it's literally the same code running on webOS as on your modern browser.
Of course, like the framework it runs on, the game is completely open source, including the dev process. If you're stuck, you can read the devlog, walk-through, or just the code on GitHub.
This is the development I'm most excited to work on next year. I hope to add many more chapters, in collaboration with my hallucinating AI friend. I don't know exactly where it will go, but this is the most fun I've had writing code in a long, long time.
The interface, and interactions, are blatantly copied from yester-year, so if you didn't use a Mac or a dial-up modem, you've got some learning to do. If you're an aging fart like me, I hope it feels like the good old days!
This is the first of a small series of apps to finish the year. Check out that thread, here.
