I missed out on Warcraft III the first time around. What's the best way to play the original game today?

Really cool, just one nitpick is that the "What do you want?" is used for 2 completely states (greeting and alert), which is not good UX-wise.

Otherwise totally fun idea!

I just added Helldivers 2 voice lines to mine. SWEET LIBERTY MY LEEEEEEHG.

This is the kind of thing that makes developer tools fun again.

Ok very cool!

I already had built a hook with desktop notification and window highlighting myself. But I have to admit, making it fun like this beats it by a lot.

I had wired up my local Claude Code instance to play back a sound on my Windows machine, but for my VPS-with-tmux-and-Clawdbot implementation, getting that to work... well, it just required me asking Claude to write an emitter script on the VPS and a listener script on my Windows box and have them connect over Tailscale and got it working in about 2 minutes. Game changer, honestly.

This is the best thing I've ever seen xD

I'd love to add some Linux support for this. If anyone else is interested in contributing, happy to coordinate.

Anthropic should release AI generated voice packs for Claude. I'm sure they'll be very popular.

Everything in AI is built on copyright infringement, so redistributing Blizzard assets while slapping an MIT license on everything is par for the course.

I need to check if I can voice clone warcraft peons with some tts-model. I need this everywhere.

burner420042yesterday at 9:41 AM

Is WoW still around? Did it fall off? All of a sudden people just stopped talking about it.

yowlingcatyesterday at 8:39 PM

Does this support when you click on a peon a bunch of times and it says "Me not that kind of Orc!"

Fervicusyesterday at 11:17 AM

Warcraft 3 was so good. Sucks that there never was any worthy successor.

bjackmanyesterday at 7:56 AM

ISTR there's a "more gold is needed" voice sprite, ideal for out-of-tokens scenarios

Temanylyesterday at 5:37 PM

I love this so much <3

dankleyesterday at 9:04 PM

tars voice when??

tomekowalyesterday at 1:02 PM

Attention! Lawsuit from Blizzard imminent.

XorNotyesterday at 7:55 AM

Hmm, time to voice clone the Protoss advisor from StarCraft: "YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL TOKENS"

What no Linux support?

ameshkovyesterday at 9:25 AM

Love the idea, made a Windsurf-compatible version: https://github.com/ameshkov/peon-ping-windsurf

barbsyesterday at 6:19 AM

Shouldn't the sound for when a task finishes be something like "Job done!"? Looking at the table it seems like it makes the sound for acknowledging that it's received an order (e.g. "I can do that").

I use this analogy for Claude Code all the time! Amazing.

andrew_mason1yesterday at 12:46 PM

my only request is that when it spawns a subagent we get "nother troll here"

datapondyesterday at 11:28 AM

OMG, you are my hero of the day !

hilliardfarmeryesterday at 4:14 PM

Not for Linux???

alentodorovyesterday at 10:05 AM

just this week i asked claude to use /say command instead of echo-ing it’s messages • magic!

r00psyesterday at 8:53 AM

This is exactly what I was missing!

I've made a PR to make it linux compatible if that is usefull to someone else :)

boring-humanyesterday at 7:24 AM

Love this. I guess there was no application for "Me not that kind of Orc"? That's the best one, but maybe it has hints of homophobia.

witxyesterday at 12:01 PM

All I see here is a bunch of people cheering for, allegedly, stolen content

anarticleyesterday at 4:20 PM

This is excellent! Much more features than I came up with.

I used the Tesla autopilot sound along with iterms notification feature which helps get to the waiting terminal if it's buried: https://github.com/gpurkins/waiting-for-claudot

cranxyesterday at 3:36 PM

"Job’s done!"

jajuukayesterday at 3:40 PM

Time to fork the project and make one for Warcraft 2. "We're ready master. (I'm not ready!)"

artemonsteryesterday at 7:28 AM

Is this singularity event everyone was talking about? Certainly feels like it

cantoyesterday at 9:51 AM

Good day commander!

x-n2oyesterday at 2:27 PM

Love this!

whalesaladyesterday at 1:45 PM

I can already hear it now… “ready to work!”

moomoo11yesterday at 1:25 PM

Horde just continues to be infinitely badass and memorable all these years later.

I haven't played WoW since like 2006-2011 but I will always be Horde for life! Lok'Tar Ogar!

Genuis!

throwa356262yesterday at 7:27 AM

This is cool and all, but I just dont understand why we cannot simply manage Claude Code sessions from the Claude phone.

Yes, I know about running CC on android phones or connecting the bot to your github account. But what I really need is to manage CC sessions I started on some random VM from the app.

Taz Dingo man.

Make it play "I am a medieval man" when it compacts.

You can also play "Your soundcard works perfectly" to test the sound output.
