Video of the Atlas browser, released today by Open AI, playing through a web-based text adventure game.


Sorry about that. If you try again now you might have better luck...


Should be better now. Sorry about that.


HN hug of death maybe? I have just tried and am not able to get in, stuck on "Entering World"


Definitely HN hug of death... Seems to be stabilizing now if you'd like to try again. Apologies for the instability.


Still getting this now btw.


Thanks for letting us know. Tried a different approach this AM and people are able to get on now. Hope it is the case for you as well.


Thank you! Multiplayer is definitely implemented, and you can have all kinds of flavor of PvP. Free for all, zone restricted, with different death looting modes (some worlds let you loot all of your opponent's gear, others none).


Sorry, really uh much higher than usual traffic is causing all kinds of issues. Looking into it...


Same here. But it looks very polished otherwise :-)


Hi HN,

I've been working on this project since 2013. It's a platform for building and playing text-based games (Multi-User Dungeons), both single-player and multi-player, on the browser. The layout is responsive to accommodate both desktop and mobile displays (including the world editor). Would love some thoughtful feedback!


"Any service that provides encrypted messages must be capable of unscrambling them."

Isn't that unrealistic in a private / public key encryption scenario? I worry that lawmakers don't quite grasp the implications of the technological changes they want mandated


Yes, I wonder how involved they will be with Open Source. Could really shift things a bit if a startup like Blekko shoved Google further to the center by being more 'Open' (whatever that word has come to mean) than them in the eyes of the media.


Completely agree. And about the actual article... isn't debating the merits of the domain names publicly going to attract domain sitters to buy those names as they are discussed? Especially given the emphasis on .coms, they are cheap to own and sit on.


It mentioned contacting someone, so not exactly in the open. I guess they could register everything that seems decent and then discuss the choices in the open.


To a lot of you criticizing how in love with Apple he is... well it's not like Gruber hides being pro Apple, or that him taking sides on a personally owned blogged makes him a bad source of information and observations.

How biased he is can certainly be borderline infuriating at times but I don't know any other blogger right now that writes about Apple and consistently makes observations that weren't obvious to make. He also has a compelling talent for seeing the big picture and making pieces of the puzzle fit.
