The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party
Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

Ask HN: What older games are you playing through?
After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/
I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

OpenRA – Classic strategy games rebuilt for the modern era
You can import those from ISOs: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content but the campaign is not complete afaik as it needs to be re-built in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4989 (I think this is the related ticket)

Any way to play on a MacBook Pro?
Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.

Well it’s happened again…
That's just a clone game though. And the originals were actually made open source with the release of the remaster.

Is it possible to see the code of 90s computer games?
Not most, but quite a few legendary ones were released in a "source available engine, paid maps" kind of way. Check out Id Software's github for a couple versions of DOOM, Quake and Wolfenstein. EA has released Command & Conquer's source code (here).

How to smooth and spread A* paths for an RTS
If anyone curious about some historic examples here is the pathfinding code from the C&C/Red Alert games
>The path algorithm works by following a LOS path to the target. If it collides with an impassable spot, it uses an Edge following routine to get around it. The edge follower moves along the edge in a clockwise or counter clockwise fashion until finding the destination spot. The destination is determined by Find_Path. It is the first passable that can be reached (so it will handle the doughnut case, where there is a passable in the center of an unreachable area).

Silicon Valley layoffs aren’t just a cost-cutting measure. They’re a culture reset.
That being said bespoke development being done badly is the source of horror stories. It's like old games C++ being notoriously "horrible garbage hacks" and yet, code like this or this is very well documented and not bad.

The source code to Wipeout has been released / leaked. "For educational and preservation purposes."
The source is wrapped up in DLLs so it can run in their frontend, but all of the old game source is there: https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection

Creationist Claims I Don't Understand: The Necessity For a Wholly (or Mostly) Functional Genome
As a specific example, the code for the Command & Conquer video games was released by Electronic Arts awhile back. Looking at some of the code for C&C: Red Alert (https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection/tree/master/REDALERT), I was struck by how many comments were included. For example, this is a snippet from one of the source files (HOUSE.CPP):
