Thanks for playtesting.

1. Not sure, i will look into it

2. Its not down, your message is traveling through space at the speed of light :-)

3. I think this is caused by my db issues, working on that currently

So, thanks for your patience and feedback. I did run a lot of tests before launching, but most of them did not use a real database… Learned a lot in the last few days!


No problem!

With regards to issue 2, I wasn't referring to the delay between between the route packet sent and the route packet received. It's when I finally send a packet with the right daily access code encrypted with the handshake key, I'm unable to continue playing for an hour or so, because the server stops sending anything (even the "hello" packet).


Hi, I’m having a lot of fun with this so far, this is a cool way to get comfortable with a new programming language. Two comments so far, first, the third email seems to be triggered by translating a certain word, but it can happen repeatedly. When tweaking my translation method I ended up getting multiple copies of the mail.

Second, after deriving what I presume is the correct access code, I am no longer authorized for transceiver usage. Is this an intended game mechanic? There doesn’t seem to be any indication of how to proceed if so.


Check your in-game mail - finding the correct access code should trigger another message.


Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I haven’t received any new mail, even after trying on another account.


I'm having this same issue


It was actually a manual intervention. Working on automating that now :-)


While you're looking at that - my user user-81574ce4 appears to have another e-mail now but the system drops connection when I try to retrieve it.


Should be fixed


Invalid Invite: This invite may be expired, or you might not have permission to join.


Doesn't seem to be. Trying to read mail number 4 causes the same issue for me.


Now also read mail 5 :-)


Cool... but the discord invite is invalid. :(


Pff every step of the way… alright i updated the link to a neverending one


There was a problem in the second email: the handshake key was incorrect. I updated it!


Hey, the server seems to go down when I send the correct route packet.

By the way, do you have a contact method other than comments on HN?


How so? I’m interested in peoples experiences trying to use ai to solve this.


For starters, you can let ai write a client for you. That saves a lot of time. Next, change the client to decode the mail. Etc…


He will, but he cannot help you. You’ll need to figure out the next step with the info you have. #notaspoiler


Author here. Awesome that this post got boosted by my latest post. As i wrote in an earlier post, my reason for wanting to develop on my phone is that i became a dad, and my kids did not want to sleep in a bed, so i spent a lot of time sitting in a rocking chair with trying to get them to sleep. One arm is needed for child support. One arm left to do development…


I just replied to someone else about this. I had exactly the same challenge with my first newborn. Simply sitting in a chair for hours is really mentally taxing and a huge waste of time. Good for you, that you've found something that doesn't get in a way of helping your child to fall asleep.


> Simply sitting in a chair for hours is really mentally taxing and a huge waste of time.

How do people that rawdog international flights do it? No phone, no books, no music, maybe just the flight screen with the little aeroplane over the map.

You could just let your thoughts wander. That's a form of meditation, letting the mind unravel on its own.

I wish I did it more, actually.


I remember going on family road trips growing up, and my only options for entertainment were reading or looking out the window. We did a road trip a few weeks ago, and my kids were beside themselves if they had to go without some form of interactive entertainment for more than a few minutes.

Of course, I'm sure I was often annoying as hell during long car rides when I was a kid. And the luxury of handing kids a magic-zone-out-device is a lifesaver. But I do wonder if I'm shortchanging my kids by not forcing them to be bored more often.


The ability to be "bored" is an advantage today. IMHO, it develops patience.


> You could just let your thoughts wander

I tried at first, didn't work. I was frustrated after 15 mins of this. But don't worry - I had a plenty of thought wander time at nights, when I was trying to fall asleep, being awoken for the 7th time that night.


Hah, a flight is at most what, 10-12 hours? Try a zen sesshin sometime :}


One day they'll be so big you can't pick them up anymore.

I've never looked back at all the time I spent with my infant son asleep on my arms and thought, damn, what a waste of time that was.

Everyone is different I guess.


Baby sling and a standing desk! Get's a little uncomfy in the heat, but I could pretty much do a whole workday - with a couple of feeding breaks, and milk for the baby of course ;).


Something that might be worth a look at for anyone in this situation is the Twiddler, it's a one handed mouse and keyboard. Connects via USB and/or Bluetooth

I know of it via a streamer who uses it to control OBS, but this is more its native use case haha

I didnt know this one, awesome!!


Looks like HN is breaking my server a bit… it should print a helpful text when you connect


I want to play!

But..

localhost:~# echo -e "\x00XR2K" | nc clearsky.dev 29438 AXR2KPxr2000.leo.spacenet:send a single 0 byte followed by 'XR2K' for documentation

printf has the same problem. Is it me?


That should work fine! I had some db issues on my end. Should work now!


It's working.


Let me start you off! echo -e "\x00XR2K" | nc clearsky.dev 29438


I can confirm the interface feels dated, and it crashed on me regularly. Definitely not a replacement for hexfiend that i was using in mac!
