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 add-emoji

    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 add-emoji

    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 and rancher2_logs_collector.sh tools
    • Refresh my golang knowledge
    • Have something that works at the end of the hackweek ("works" may vary add-emoji )
    • 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

    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 both signus and signus-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

    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.
