Show HN: Role Playing Game for Self Improvement (weekend project)

3 pointsby lefnirealmost 13 years ago
Hey HN, been working on a project &#38; could use all you lovelies' feedback :) I was inspired by habit-tracker apps like Joe's Goals, but I wanted something more robust and personally motivating. So I built a habit-tracker which plays like an RPG. As you accomplish goals, you level up. If you fail your goals, you lose hit points. You can buy weapons and armor, etc. Open source (https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg), built on DerbyJS (http://derbyjs.com/), and uses BrowserQuest's icon sets. Integration with productivity tools primary on the roadmap (https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg#roadmap).<p>I stress-tested some, but Derby is a work in progress - so bear with me if it goes down.

Looks like a good start buddy. Looks like this life game I shamefully only made use of for a few days; <a href="http://www.rexbox.co.uk/epicwin/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rexbox.co.uk/epicwin/</a><p>How are you going to stop people from just deleting tasks they couldn't do?<p>Keep it up!
