Show HN: I recreated the Fallout hack minigame. Shows posts from my blog on win

Hey HN!

I just got finished working on this yesterday. If you don't know what Fallout is, or what the hacking minigame is , you can check here[0] and here[1], respectively.

My version displays the hacking minigame, and then when successfully hacked, it displays the posts from my website, exactly as if it was on a terminal in the game.

I originally made it two years ago as a way to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but it had some huge flaws as I was a beginner. In anticipation for the release of the new Fallout 76 tomorrow, I went back to it and reworked huge portions, and it's now at a point where I'm ready to share it with the world!

I wrote a short writeup of the original development process and my motivations here[2], and a much longer post listing the improvements I made these past two weeks here[3].

This project has definitely been a labour of love for me, and I'm really proud of it and happy with it. I hope you enjoy, and I'd love to hear what everyone thinks!
