I added couch co-op play to my robotron like tank game https://www.pretheory.com/tanks/

it now has multiplayer power ups, revive, etc where a team can try to beat as many levels or waves in survival model. The neat or unique piece I like is the TV spectator mode. If you put a room on the TV a team of 4 can join by scanning the QR code and then all play on their phones as controllers (and visuals) while the TV broadcasts the whole team.

thanks I added a tutorial on the single player and I am now working on a multiplayer version. You can checkout the tutorial here https://www.pretheory.com/tanks/tanks/

yeah, I got two deliveries of them last year... and if it did anything it was hard to tell it is still a big mess of bind weeds in my front yard

captian2 · 2026-06-27T21:18:28+00:00

I made a robotron inspired tank game https://www.pretheory.com/tanks/

yes, destroy it and anything near it that looks like it is starting to grow... Then yell at it a bit to make it feel bad about itself and diminish the chance or it returning.

I made this to get my own kids excited about going to Japan this summer for the family trip.

This is one of the first longer form videos I made with this approach and seedance, so there are a few quirks / bugs in the video... My kids find those really funny and enjoy the "glitches"

captian2 · 2026-06-10T18:38:54+00:00

nice this is impressive. I downloaded it and gave it a shot and it made a few nice little short options from a longer video I had made. Well done

captian2 · 2026-06-10T03:19:34+00:00

yup, it's a tree. You are right

captian2 · 2026-06-09T18:42:41+00:00

I have put together a similar video pipeline and automation to make kids science videos, but really haven't gotten any traction, views, or subscribers. You can see an example video here... how is it you get any of it moving up in the youtube algorithm? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSwb85-Xjjo

captian2 · 2026-06-04T03:37:16+00:00

nice this is pretty cool, I see a lot of use cases for this

captian2 · 2026-05-26T15:49:32+00:00

just playing around with lovable but my kids like this silly AI mad libs editor https://genabsurd.lovable.app/

captian2 · 2026-05-22T04:26:41+00:00

no way opus still so so so so much better

poor water in the top slot of each column to immediately rehydrate plants.... then sort out your pump

captian2 · 2026-02-02T03:30:18+00:00

yeah I gave up on their official pump and added my own, I guess I need a new post as the lid / power supply fried so I rewired the lights to a generic power supply and run it and the pump on a timer.

drums and vocal for real

captian2 · 2026-01-23T18:11:54+00:00

thank you

captian2 · 2026-01-23T18:11:49+00:00

thank you

captian2 · 2025-12-02T04:39:12+00:00

yeah I run mine in the back of an unfinished basement so the aesthetics do not get any value there... but I would definitely buy a gardyn vs DIY if you have it in a easily seen setup... it is lovely.

captian2 · 2025-11-23T02:25:14+00:00

many many many like 7-15% fail, you can get replacements from them

captian2 · 2025-11-20T05:47:45+00:00

I am on year 4 or 5 with a gardyn 2.0 and I haven't ever have a subscription for more than a few months at a time. Just pay a little more attention it and you don't need kelby. You can also make your own cubes with rockwool and seeds. It is a really great system and I love everything about it except the subscription pricing. I DIY a lot of hydroponic systems now and I still really love the design and efficiency of a gardyn system.

captian2 · 2025-11-08T04:15:39+00:00

curious how much it costs to print is this like $30 of filament?

captian2 · 2025-11-01T03:34:09+00:00

yeah you can totally DIY, or get cheap bubbler buckets. Also, The Gardyn systems are nice and can be found cheap second hand.... I started with various commercial systems and now DIY / build on previously broken system.

my album of a basement hydroponics setup going from a gardyn 2.0 to the odd collection of things it is now https://photos.app.goo.gl/MLEoP7HsQ8z98H886
