Show HN: Starglyphs - A constellation puzzle game based on Euler paths

2026-06-27 @ 21:50:32Points: 11Comments: 3

I am a big Dragon Age fan and sunk hundreds of hours into Inquisition. It had this minigame called astrariums where you had to solve these shapes based on constellation guides by tracing stars. I'm a hobby game dev and wondered if I could procedurally generate these puzzles so they were always solvable. Turns out you can, so I built a space puzzle game around it with a colorful aesthetic. I released it in web form here but I'm currently working on getting it on Steam and mobile.

Show HN: Adrafinil – keep a lid-closed Mac awake only while agents work

2026-06-27 @ 20:34:53Points: 90Comments: 55

This is a solution to this problem. Unlike caffeinate, it will prevent your MacBook from sleeping even with the lid closed, with no external power or display, using pmset disablesleep 1. Unlike other sleep-preventing apps, Adrafinil only activates when there’s an agent actively doing something. It detects agent activity through hooks it installs into Claude Code, Codex, and others. To reassure you it’s working, the app shows the active status in the menu bar, and it plays a chime when you close the lid.

Once the agent is done, Adrafinil detects it and lets the laptop go to sleep by setting pmset disablesleep back to 0. It will also let it sleep in case of overheating. And if you want to manually toggle it, you can install an optional MCP and tell your agent to keep the MacBook awake for a specific time.

It has four binaries, one of which is a root helper exposing a single setSleepBlocked call. All the logic and policy live in the unprivileged parts. They’re all notarized, and the app is fully open source (MIT).

Hack Club noticed these projects and thought I would be well suited to run an event. This was my reaction, I wanted to make something that could encourage the same competition as well the feedback I get from places like HN and appreciate well made projects. Hack Club does a good job at throwing money at people who make projects, but a iffy job at rewarding hard work. I wanted to change that. Radish Jam <https://radish.hackclub.com/> was my reaction to that, and this blog post goes through my thought processes in logistics. How something similar could be run again either by another Hack Clubber or an adult looking to run something for similar for adults :)
