FWeinbon Hextraction, a free and open source board game

Got into 3d modeling a few month ago and build another game using marbles with a bit of an objective instead of being free form. See: https://makerworld.com/en/models/684705-marble-logic-a-capti...

FWeinbon Hexagonal Langton's Ant 2 – Colors, Gliders and Highways

Great work! I build[1] a classic javascript interpreter for Langton's Ant a few years ago. Just updated it to include support for custom rules. Thanks for reminding me about Langton's Ant it is always cool to recall things one build in the past.

FWeinbon Show HN: An old rotary phone converted into a mobile phone

This is an awesome project. After watching all of his videos this[1] one is the most curious, because you could probably get his phone number by measure the time it takes for a digit to dial. Not that this is something I would endorse but it came to my mind the second he tried to hide the dialing process.
