I got fired, so I decided to build my own MMORPG | WarpScape

I got fired from my job, and instead of looking for another one, I decided to build my own MMORPG. Yeah, I know how stupid that sounds 😂 Instead of a stable salary, I got 3,000+ hours of development, countless bugs, sleepless nights, and a game that always needs something else. I’m building WarpScape solo. Servers, classes, skills, quests, economy, clans, arena, clan battles… and that’s not even…

The author of the article, who was recently fired from their job, has decided to take matters into their own hands and build their own MMORPG called WarpScape. Despite the challenges that come with such a project, including countless bugs, sleepless nights, and the constant need for improvements, the author is committed to seeing their game through.

They have invested over 3,000 hours into the development of WarpScape, which includes servers, classes, skills, quests, economy, clans, arena, clan battles, and more. While the author is unsure if WarpScape will succeed, they are determined to give it a real shot rather than living with the constant "what ifs" of not pursuing their own game. Readers are encouraged to support the project by adding WarpScape to their Steam Wishlist.

Building an EV-vs-petrol cost model: total cost of ownership in the browser

An electric car that costs $10,000 more than its petrol equivalent breaks even after 8.6 years at 12,000 miles a year — and never breaks even at all if you charge it mostly at public fast chargers.

  • EV costing $10,000 more than petrol car breaks even after 8.6 years with 12,000 miles/year usage
  • Model calculates annual cost of each car type using miles, fuel price, and maintenance
  • EV cheaper to fuel due to lower fuel consumption per mile compared to petrol cars

How to Compress a Video Without Uploading It (Free, Right in Your Browser)

You filmed a 90 second clip on your phone and it is 180 MB. Your email limit is 25 MB, the chat app will squash it into mush, and the class portal says "file too large".

  • Compress videos in browser without uploading, using H.264 codec
  • Adjust quality (CRF), resolution, and frame rate to reduce size
  • OpenFile toolkit runs ffmpeg in browser via WebAssembly for compression

I built a world history map where every ruler links to a source

Most history maps show the borders. I wanted one that also says who was in charge, and where that claim came from. You drag a year slider from 1000 BC to today, the borders move, and you can click any…

  • Map identifies rulers and sources for each region from 1000 BC to present
  • Each ruler and claim linked to source URL and quote in code
  • Static map generated beforehand, minimal loading via single TopoJSON per year
