Oh snap it's like what Pied Piper originally was trying to be, super interesting work!

DelTacoon How slot machines are designed to be addictive

Yeah I had the same problem, so I created my own slot machine. However it's only on Android so I can't pull a real lever :(

DelTacoon Why public lands must remain in public hands

Huh, I didn't even know they started selling public land. Last I had heard, the federal government tried to give back land to the states, but the states didn't accept. The reason being that the federal government was paying the states to preserve the land as if the states were making money off of it. So the states didn't want their free income gone.

Dragon Quest Warriors I and II will be localized for the Switch, however. At least there's no region locking!

DelTacoon Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TimMendez....

I made a simple endless swing game for Android with Unity 5. It was my first experience with Unity or C#. I needed units for college, and I was able to have a professor oversee the project for 4 units. I'm so glad he did because I had a ton of fun making it!

Took a quatter to make and I'm pretty proud of it even though the only users nowadays are friends and family members who keep it installed and accidentally open it, and a couple of Russians :)
