fantajuice··on Show HN: I made a competitive debating game(like chess.com but for debating)
That's an interesting idea for sure, a more relaxed mode. But then again, same could be said about video game championships, an aimbot would shred everybody. There's this kinda beauty in human's still trying to do stuff

Is that a good thing lmao

I'm using python/django. I just made a room object and set up websockets for the live messaging feature. I can show you some of the code on discord if you want(though I doubt you're using python to make a game, mine's kinda simple so python works well)

Which bot did you debate with? Some bots will automatically let you win under a condition(for example easy mode will let you win as soon as you point out a faulty point/fake info). If you do try it again, would you mind sending a screenshot in the discord server?

Thanks a lot for testing it :D

p.s.: I have thought of adding a voting system, so that the AI judge wouldn't have absolute power over the winner. But that'd only work with a spectator feature

ahh already I get it now. I only binded the room code to force login, I forgot to force login on the other button/elements. Thanks I'll fix that. Also what account do you use? I sort of assumed google would be the easiest, most standard/popular one.

I can't tell if I'm the first one or the latter. Am I not making them sign up before anything happens(can't do anything without an account besides look at other people debate)? Or is that a bad thing?

kind of, you can see live debates that people are having(though none happened). But the server reloads whenever no one's online for a bit and it wipes the sqlite file clean(cheap servers right now) which also wipes away all the old debates

Tump: China

so your only issue with it it's that it's asking for email? What do you mean by late stage initial engagement?

I just chose the bot opponents randomly haha and I'll keep the formalism on HN in mind.

Since there's prolly no active users on it rn, to test it u could try the bot mode or ask a friend to debate with you :)
