alt Hacker NewsWell hello random IncrediBots-remembering person! Such good times with an oddly wholesome and welcoming community.
I spent many of my teenage and early adult years trying to replicate it in HTML5. Finally got the Open Source version of IB2 largely ported during COVID: https://github.com/JoshTheDerf/Incredibots-2-HTML5-Open-Sour...
This is so cool! I also tried replicating Incredibots during the pandemic, but abandoned it in favor of 3d stuff.
I remember every day as a kid logging on to find new vehicles, challenges, rube-goldberg machines. Some content archives are still online, but don't scratch that itch as an adult. For its time, Incredibots really nailed the sweet spot between expressiveness and ease to create content.
