Tilecraft – Online multiplayer tile rummy, RUST back end

The author actually built a proper server-authoritative game using Rust + Tokio and Tungstenite, then added 4-player ELO quick queues, best-of-N lobbies and global leaderboards — not just a demo. The UI looks inviting, but the product hinges on live player density (no bots yet) and raises questions about latency handling, cheat prevention and scaling as the leaderboard grows.

Adding playable bots to a multiplayer game with OpenClaw

The author replaced brittle LLM scripts with OpenClaw-driven bots that actually compete in a live multiplayer game — not just follow canned heuristics. The demo looks playable and charming, but the project reads like a promising experiment: I'd want to see latency handling, how the bot hooks into the game loop, and quantitative match performance before calling this a breakthrough.
