What Are You Building? (2025 Projects Hackathon Thread)

My son has been learning up Windsurf the last few weeks, they have free 4.1 and o4-mini-medium/high for a couple more days (Might be long enough to give it a quick test) - They extended their offer for another 7 days last week… Now 14th to 28th…

I’m throwing ideas at him all the time in my nice random way so here’s a few projects I’ve had him work on:

GeoLocation Walking App - We’re slowly working on my ‘Postman’ idea with local walks for the Summer… Thinking local businesses might consider offering money off coupons for tourist families who have done local walks…

Games and simulators…

Boids - Like a simulation of birds flocking
The Boids algorithm, introduced by Craig Reynolds in 1986, is a seminal model in artificial life and computer graphics that simulates the flocking behavior of birds and other group dynamics. By applying simple local rules to individual agents, or “boids” (short for “bird-oid objects”), the algorithm produces complex, emergent group behaviors without centralized control.

Chess with 3 levels - Easy/Medium/Hard - Appears fully working

Angband Style Level Maker - A bit buggy, a longer term project this

Doodle Recogniser

‘Slenderman’ Game

Phasm Macro AST - He beat me I did a PHP one he did JS :confused:

Star Atom Simulator - Simulates atom fusions inside a star

Paper (2D) Minecraft

Planet Maker - Merge Atoms to make human habitable planet atmosphere

Quark Simulator - Simulates behaviour of Quarks
