AI Analysis

●●SolidCrowd PleaserShip It

Full MOBA in your browser when most competitors require downloads and launchers.

Strengths
  • Server-authoritative architecture running entirely client-side is technically non-trivial.
  • 18 original champions with abilities, items, and jungle objectives actually implemented.
  • Room codes enable instant multiplayer without accounts or installation friction.
Weaknesses
  • Derivative by design—'Temu LoL' acknowledges it's not competing with League directly.
  • Weekend project status means long-term balance, anti-cheat, and scaling are unproven.

Post Description

Fun weekend project just to test out 4.8 against a pretty vanilla setup.

Started out with a simple prompt, "build a temu league of legends, web-only with online, room-based multiplayer".

It built it... fully functional in one shot! Then I went kinda ham and started iterating on every aspect little by little. I made it spin up subagents to each focus on designing a character. Spun up subagents to focus on designing abilities and their SFX/VFX. Did a few passes over the map, mobs, minions, etc.

Then I put Ultracode Workflows to task and, across a handful of prompts, had it optimize performance, balance, and a variety of other things. Workflows is insane btw...

I also used /goal pretty heavily as well. I'd sit and play and make note of like 10-15 tweaks, bug fixes, etc at a time and just let it go to town.

4.8 is a one shot machine... 5.5 ain't doin this...

Anyways, figured I'd share. Happy to answer any questions in the comments!

Try it out solo (with bots) or with friends! https://lmaomoba.com

UltraPlot 2.0 – semantic legends, better layouts, faster imports

They rebuilt core legend and colorbar internals into dedicated builders and added a new layout solver — that’s tangible engineering work on the parts of Matplotlib that actually frustrate people. Lazy-loading to cut import time is a nice pragmatic win for large environments, but this is an incremental, well-crafted improvement for Matplotlib users rather than a category‑changing product.
