Project Description
This project aims to write a minimal Gameboy emulator using Go programming language.
Goal for this Hackweek
The goals is to implement a minimal PPU (Pixel Processing Unit) using Go and it's bindings for SDL2. CPU is already implemented although it would need a little more testing.
If possible, another goal would be to meet engineers interested in the project and collaborate together

WebUI for your data by avicenzi
A single place to view every bit of data you have.
Problem
You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.
- Family photos and videos.
- Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
- Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
- Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).
Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.
- How do you get it all together?
- How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
- How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
- How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together
Project Description
The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.
Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.
The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).
Similar proposals
The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.
Goal for this Hackweek
Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.
It should be able to show photos and videos at least.
Resources
None so far, this is just an idea.
iSCSI integration in Warewulf by ncuralli
Description
This Hackweek project aims to enhance Warewulf’s capabilities by adding iSCSI support, enabling both remote boot and flexible mounting of iSCSI devices within the filesystem. The project, which already handles NFS, DHCP, and iPXE, will be extended to offer iSCSI services as well, centralizing all necessary services for provisioning and booting cluster nodes.
Goals
- iSCSI Boot Option: Enable nodes to boot directly from iSCSI volumes
- Mounting iSCSI Volumes within the Filesystem: Implement support for mounting iSCSI devices at various points within the filesystem
Resources
https://warewulf.org/
Steps
- add generic framework to handle remote ressource/filesystems to
wwctl
[ ] - add iSCSI handling to
wwctl configure
[ ] - add iSCSI to dracut files [ ]
- test it [ ]
Automate PR process by idplscalabrini
Description
This project is to streamline and enhance the pr review process by adding automation for identifying some issues like missing comments, identifying sensitive information in the PRs like credentials. etc. By leveraging GitHub Actions and golang hooks we can focus more on high-level reviews
Goals
- Automate lints and code validations on Github actions
- Automate code validation on hook
- Implement a bot to pre-review the PRs

Golang hooks and Github actions
suse-rancher-supportconfig by eminguez
Description
Update: Live at https://github.com/e-minguez/suse-rancher-supportconfig
I finally didn't used golang but used gum instead
SUSE's supportconfig
support tool collects data from the SUSE Operating system. Rancher's rancher2_logs_collector.sh
support tool does the same for RKE2/K3s.
Wouldn't be nice to have a way to run both and collect all data for SUSE based RKE2/K3s clusters? Wouldn't be even better with a fancy TUI tool like bubbletea?
Ideally the output should be an html page where you can see the logs/data directly from the browser.
Goals
- Familiarize myself with both
supportconfig
andrancher2_logs_collector.sh
tools - Refresh my golang knowledge
- Have something that works at the end of the hackweek ("works" may vary
)
- Be better in naming things

Hack on rich terminal user interfaces by amanzini
Description
TUIs (Textual User Interface) are a big classic of our daily workflow. Many linux users 'live' in the terminal and modern implementations have a lot to offer : unicode fonts, 24 bit colors etc.
Goals
- Explore the current available solution on modern languages and implement a PoC , for example a small maze generator, porting of a classic game or just display the HackWeek cute logo.
- Practice some Go / Rust coding and programming patterns
- Fiddle around, hack, learn, have fun
- keep a development diary, practice on project documentation
Follow this link for source code repository
- includes development diary

Port some classic game to Linux by MDoucha
Let's pick some old classic game, reverse engineer the data formats and game rules and write an open source engine for it from scratch. Some games from 1990s are simple enough that we could have a playable prototype by the end of the week.
Write which games you'd like to hack on in the comments. Don't forget to check e.g. on Open Source Game Clones, Github and SourceForge whether the game is ported already.
Hack Week 24 - Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares & Chaos Overlords
Work on Master of Orion II continues but we can hack more than one game. Chaos Overlords is a dystopian, lighthearted, cyberpunk turn-based strategy game originally released in 1996 for Windows 95 and Mac OS. The player takes on the role of a Chaos Overlord, attempting to control a city. Gameplay involves hiring mercenary gangs and deploying them on an 8-by-8 grid of city sectors to generate income, occupy sectors and take over the city.
How to ~~install & play~~ observe the decompilation progress:
- Clone the Git repository
- A playable reimplementation does not exist yet, but when it does, it will be linked in the repository mentioned above.
Further work needed:
- Analyze the remaining unknown data structures, most of which are related to the AI.
- Decompile the AI completely. The strong AI is part of the appeal of the game. It cannot be left out.
- Reimplement the game.
Hack Week 20, 21, 22 & 23 - Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares
Master of Orion II is one of the greatest turn-based 4X games of the 1990s. Explore the galaxy, colonize planets, research new technologies, fight space monsters and alien empires and in the end, become the ruler of the galaxy one way or another.
How to install & play:
- Clone the Git repository
- Run
./bootstrap; ./configure; make && make install
- Copy all *.LBX files from the original Master of Orion II to the installation data directory (
/usr/local/share/openorion2
by default) - Run
openorion2
Further work needed:
- Analyze the rest of the original savegame format and a few remaining data files.
- Implement most of the game. The open source engine currently supports only loading saved games from the original version and viewing the galaxy map, fleet management and list of known planets.
Hack Week 19 - Signus: The Artifact Wars
Signus is a Czech turn-based strategy game similar to Panzer General or Battle Isle series. Originally published in 1998 and open-sourced by the original developers in 2003.
How to install & play:
- Clone the Git repository
- Run
./bootstrap; ./configure; make && make install
in bothsignus
andsignus-data
directories. - Run
signus
Further work needed:
- Create openSUSE package
- Implement full support for original game data (the open source version uses slightly different data file contents but original game data can be converted using a script).
ESETv2 Emulator / interpreter by m.crivellari
Description
ESETv2 is an intriguing challenge developed by ESET, available on their website under the "Challenge" menu.
The challenge involves an "assembly-like" language and a Python compiler that generates .evm
binary files.
This is an example using one of their samples (it prints N Fibonacci numbers):
.dataSize 0
.code
loadConst 0, r1 # first
loadConst 1, r2 # second
loadConst 1, r14 # loop helper
consoleRead r3
loop:
jumpEqual end, r3, r15
add r1, r2, r4
mov r2, r1
mov r4, r2
consoleWrite r1
sub r3, r14, r3
jump loop
end:
hlt
This language also supports multi-threading. It includes instructions such as createThread
to start a new thread, joinThread
to wait until a thread completes, and lock
/unlock
to facilitate synchronization between threads.
Goals
- create a full interpreter able to run all the available samples provided by ESET.
- improve / optimize memory (eg. using bitfields where needed as well as avoid unnecessary memory allocations)
Resources
- Challenge URL: https://join.eset.com/en/challenges/core-software-engineer
- My github project: https://github.com/DispatchCode/eset_vm2 (not 100% complete)
Achivements
Project still not complete. Added lock / unlock instruction implementation but further debug is needed; there is a bug somewhere. Actually the code it works for almost all the examples in the samples folder. 1 of them is not yet runnable (due to a missing "write" opcode implementation), another will cause the bug to show up; still not investigated, anyhow.
