Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball
A developer has created a website that converts live MLB baseball data into 8-bit pixel art gamecasts. The project is in its early stages and currently features various games with details like stadium graphics and live scoreboards.
Why it matters
This project demonstrates creative applications of real-time sports data APIs and retro-style web design for fan engagement.
Hey HN, I built a website to watch live baseball games in an 8-bit broadcast. It takes live MLB data streams and converts them into near real-time pixel art gamecasts. Been waiting to share this for when there’s actually a good slate of games happening since the site is pretty bare otherwise. Here is today's schedule: Mets @ Reds - 9:40am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/824503 Royals @ Nationals - 10:05am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/822721 Marlins @ Phillies - 10:05am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/823450 Tigers @ Astros - 11:10am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/824178 Padres @ Cardinals - 11:15am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/823044 ..and another 14 games throughout the later day. I'm still early on in this project, but I've tried to add little details with actual stadiums, day and night modes, between inning graphics and interstitials, live scoreboards, etc. Would love any feedback and ideas. Thanks for checking it out! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48573012 Points: 11 # Comments: 2
