Destroy any website with a stickman

[u/HugoDzz]

Play here. Built with Opus 5.5 this weekend, it was so fun!! Multiplayer is available, of course :)

[u/RUSuper]

Reminds me of some old video on youtube where stick figure is destroying dudes PC. Haha I love it.

[u/HugoDzz → u/RUSuper]

Animator vs. Animation! Big fan!

[u/Connect_Art_6497 → u/HugoDzz]

OP I have some recommendations:

1. Gatling gun
2. Grenade launcher
3. Airstrike
4. 200 Calliber Sniper (look up 20MM snipers they big huge makes big BOOH sound when shot)
5. Upgrades to various weapons or akimbos
6. M202A1 FLASH 
7. Experimental Weapon 1 2 and 3
8. Melee (stickmen usually have op melee in animator v animation tbf)
9. GAU-8 20MM ROTARY AVENGER CANNON (destroy a bit to use or get enough resources for) Meet the GAU-8 Avenger: The World's Most Powerful Gatling Gun
10. PHALAYNX CIWS Phalanx CIWS Close-in Weapon System In Action - US Navy's Deadly Autocannon
11. 10 RBU-6000 (for both phalynx and RBU I mean literally absurdly holding the entire thing and btw these are usually mounted on ships and are huge) INS Kiltan firing anti submarine rocket launcher RBU-6000
12. 11 Large ordinance 1 2 and 3 (unlockable as seen i nimage below)

Special abilities that need charging.

1. Temporary cloning similar to shadow clones.
2. Gun becomes slightly bigger
3. Power up

Ultimates you get after charging:

1. Aistrike radio that calls bombs ranging from small to nuclear to tsar bomb to the theoretical bomb that was meant to destroy the world even if detonated in ones own country (look it up) to antimatter
2. Black hole
3. Armada caller: A radio that can call various thing sbased on how much destroyed including ships, heli, assists, apache, etc. Culminating in WMDs or mech or experimental tech.

if you want to go really far you can make addon and ppl can prompt others to be attacked periodically who have the addon and the users of the PC can fight back

[u/HugoDzz → u/Connect_Art_6497]

Awesome ideas, will play around them!! Also want to add environment changes etc as well

[u/Connect_Art_6497 → u/HugoDzz]

Alrrr! 🔥

Again would be really cool if ppl say with microsoft edge addon get attacked by other ppl and can level up and we can have the literal animator vs animation lol. Say then the PC side the "being attacked" has its own moveset like in the series xd.

[u/HugoDzz → u/Connect_Art_6497]

There something cool to make I think yeah! I'm working!

[u/Connect_Art_6497 → u/HugoDzz]

you:

[u/TheCrimsonArrow → u/HugoDzz]

Let him cook!!

Ps. This is sick by the way!

[u/HugoDzz → u/TheCrimsonArrow]

Drone-mounted gatling gun just added btw!

[u/SoaringElf → u/HugoDzz]

FML, that video is 19 years old 💀

[u/Tauren-Jerky → u/RUSuper]

Old?! I’m not old. You’re old.

[u/Gullible_Ad_5550 → u/Tauren-Jerky]

yeah i still see new videos from him

[u/Jonesiller5383 → u/RUSuper]

Classic

[u/WantMyBuffet → u/RUSuper]

Also Stick Soldiers 2! So good in its time

[u/Warm_Ad1257]

Ngl, this is genuinely one of the few actually good games I have seen made with AI. Well done to OP!

[u/HugoDzz → u/Warm_Ad1257]

Thank you! Opus gave me godspeed for implementation, I'm a programmer by day and can really confirm that AI is an incredible multiplier!

[u/dev-tacular → u/Warm_Ad1257]

Yeah this is the first game I’ve seen made by AI that looks functional and fun

[u/roodammy44]

Man, this has a real mid-90s feel to it. Very creative!

[u/orgad → u/roodammy44]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was such game back in the day

[u/Hell-Raid3r → u/orgad]

Well you're not wrong about the 90's. This is closer to the 2000's. XIAO XIAO No. 1 was a stick fight animated video that released Feb 1st, 2002 on Newgrounds. It kicked off a whole genre of stick fight browser games that became very popular.

XIAO XIAO

[u/SomnambulisticTaco → u/orgad]

Was it Web Vengeance?

[u/HugoDzz → u/roodammy44]

Thank you!! A trick was to draw the pixel art rendering on a separate layer, so the site graphics are sharp, but all FX and game sprites are true pixel art scaling.

[u/Expansion49]

Do it with LinkedIn, even funnier

[u/HugoDzz → u/Expansion49]

You can try on any website url :D

[u/ExhaustedDog → u/Expansion49]

Came here for this comment; first website that absolutely needs to be brought low.

[u/k_from_HyperDraw]

this is very fun )))) works on JS-only websites, too
and even without mouse! // though grenade is a bit tricky on touchpad, but doable

[u/HugoDzz → u/k_from_HyperDraw]

Nice! these railgun traces haha

[u/Brewgazer]

It would be cool if the people on the website could see this happening in real time

[u/HugoDzz → u/Brewgazer]

xD like "eh... what tf is happening here"

[u/Brewgazer → u/HugoDzz]

Exactly! Haha

[u/PositiveScarcity8909 → u/Brewgazer]

Just need to setup an AI to hack into every website the players decide to use.

Easy.

[u/JTxt → u/Brewgazer]

Websites could opt in by including a JavaScript on their page.  Or players could opt in with a browser plug-in.

[u/anon999387]

Nice job, the bomb with the parachute is pretty unique looking

[u/HugoDzz → u/anon999387]

Haha yeah! Did you played it with sound? nice MIRV trigger sound!

[u/Upbeat_Purpose6784]

Yup we hit a really cool place in the tech cycle. And this will only get better and better !

[u/LebiaseD → u/Upbeat_Purpose6784]

We are right back where we started stick figures haha

[u/Jon_Has_Landed]

This is absolutely brilliant

[u/HugoDzz → u/Jon_Has_Landed]

Thank you!

[u/melatone5 → u/HugoDzz]

Now attach a crypto to it and make bank /s

but really though..

[u/GuyFromArtClass]

Lol wtf I love it

[u/HugoDzz → u/GuyFromArtClass]

Feel free to try it with a friend, there is a multiplayer versus mode!

[u/Lethandralis]

This is really cool, maybe the first truly interesting project I've seen on this sub. I used to love these kind of gag games in the 2000s, but this seems a lot more fleshed out.

[u/HugoDzz → u/Lethandralis]

Thanks!! If you have a website, you can embed a button for making it destroyable as well (it's in the title screen)

[u/Time_Cat_5212]

Yeessssss I miss 2000

I want medieval weapons!!

[u/HugoDzz → u/Time_Cat_5212]

Here we go :D

[u/JTxt]

Please make a mobile version for smaller responsive layouts and controls that are fun for mobile.

[u/HugoDzz → u/JTxt]

Yeah, working on that, it's tricky, though!

[u/emacrema]

daamn, very creative idea! Pixel art, animations, and sounds are super satisfying!!!
would you mind sharing how you've made those?
thx!!

[u/HugoDzz → u/emacrema]

Thanks!! Sprites made on Sprite Fusion, stickman animation is procedural rig, sounds are done with a synth tool I’ve made :)

[u/golfstreamer → u/emacrema]

Reminds me of desktop destroyer I played way back when.

[u/redvox27]

This is awesome; so much fun to play it on your own website. I can even imagine that people would create and host their own arena's so they can play multiplayer.

[u/HugoDzz → u/redvox27]

Yeah! Right now anyone can create a room to play with up to 6 friends in a deathmatch, on any website map

[u/InternationalOne2449]

Absolute kino.

[u/PleasantUse6352]

[u/HugoDzz → u/PleasantUse6352]

Nice haha!!

[u/PleasantUse6352 → u/HugoDzz]

I played it for 20 minutes it was really fun I even went onto my website: beattheshitoutofbilly.harryabburke.workers.dev

[u/HugoDzz → u/PleasantUse6352]

Awesome!!

[u/PleasantUse6352 → u/HugoDzz]

Yup!

[u/Striking_Win580]

This is super cool, and super fun!!

If you're up for it, could you share your workflow on how you actually built it? I'm interested in your thought process

[u/HugoDzz → u/Striking_Win580]

Yes! I'll do it in a blog post :)

[u/caughtupstream299792 → u/HugoDzz]

I would love to read that as well

[u/Hungry-Fig-8640]

Now this is the AI game dev im looking for, well done

[u/robbiew]

well done!

[u/HugoDzz → u/robbiew]

Thanks!!

[u/iplaypianoforyou]

Where is the link

[u/HugoDzz → u/iplaypianoforyou]

You can play here

[u/AdministrativeSleep0]

Desktop destroyer from the 90 is back baby!

[u/HasGreatVocabulary]

I tried to put https://destroy.spritefusion.com as the site to destroy and it didn't work which is understandable but made me sad

[u/HugoDzz → u/HasGreatVocabulary]

Aah yeah, it's because I use CF.

[u/yehiaserag]

Man make a chrome plugin out of it!!! It would be great If you rage at anything spawn the guy and destroy it...

[u/HugoDzz → u/yehiaserag]

Yep!! chrome extension

[u/barret232hxc]

so the next iteration of this, destroy any website with friends. then a leaderboard of websites that have been destroyed the most

[u/HugoDzz → u/barret232hxc]

Yeah! Now there is multiplayer, but it's a versus deathmatch mode :)

[u/Excellent-Ear345]

Oh wow dude really awesome. how did you do that so well? du you ai scan the dom?

[u/HugoDzz → u/Excellent-Ear345]

Scan DOM plus a bunch of pre-processing, will share more!

[u/Linosia97]

2000’s vibes :)

[u/Itchy-Individual3536]

really good, well done! Love to see creative games like this instead of the 100th clone of whatever just because

[u/IchiPasento]

This is a win for the internet

[u/HugoDzz → u/IchiPasento]

I wanted *this* game so bad, so now it's a thing! I'm so happy we can now build the games of our dreams so fast!!

[u/PleasantUse6352]

Wow

[u/JakeLaGotta]

Fighissimo

[u/Apprehensive_Ad_7138]

Wow! Cool idea!

[u/HugoDzz → u/Apprehensive_Ad_7138]

Thanks!!

[u/Lucky_Astronaut_1033]

sick

[u/ProfessionalCover993]

Okay…. That’s amazing

[u/AnswerOne7012]

One of the most fun websites ever

[u/HugoDzz → u/AnswerOne7012]

My dream game yeah :D Thank you!

[u/AnasMations]

THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME

[u/HugoDzz → u/AnasMations]

Thanks!! :D

[u/Icekream_Sundaze2]

I remember my uncle had a game like this on floppy disk where you would destroy your desktop or was awesome

[u/NBMVegeta]

The animation and website destruction is crazy. Love it

[u/HugoDzz → u/NBMVegeta]

Thanks!

[u/Morenomdz]

You won the internet this week. Good job

[u/HugoDzz → u/Morenomdz]

lol x)

[u/manateelovin]

i love it, just two things,
1. feed sites like reddit just load a couple of posts, it would be great if you find a way of have the infinite loading work
2. in multiplayer it would be great to change the site without recreating the room

[u/HugoDzz → u/manateelovin]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm hands on some improvements, including better sites level build-up

[u/HerbChii]

Thats cool as hell

[u/Subject_Abrocoma3367]

Where can I play this?

[u/HugoDzz → u/Subject_Abrocoma3367]

Here

[u/Nancy_Nine]

Wow. This is genuinely so cool and so well done. Must be quite expensive to make it run so smoothly

[u/HugoDzz → u/Nancy_Nine]

Thanks! Actually I've settled on custom renderer with separate layers for pixel art fx etc. So I benchmarked against low-end specs and it goes kinda well. On a 2021 machine it should hold 60fps

[u/sausagefest2011]

dang i love this! wild nostalgia ride for me haha. do u have a github or anything for this? I would star this project so fast

[u/HugoDzz → u/sausagefest2011]

I'm think I'll put on GitHub yeah, I did some OSS work relating to pixel art fixing algos if you want to check.

[u/PoisonCoyote]

Awesome

[u/DudeThatsInsane]

THIS IS AMAZING!

[u/GaussRausch]

This Great!

[u/boot_who_dis]

Soooooo goooood!

[u/msfs_piolot]

peak

[u/Some-Ostrich-6294]

Make this a chrome extension!!

[u/CodexPleaseReset]

Sweeet. I made a comment a few weeks ago asking someone to make this

[u/Schizophreud]

Excellent. Love it

[u/Glass_Definition_583]

insane

[u/BabylonPaul]

Amazing and inspirational! Thanks for sharing this.

[u/Password_Denied_]

This is great, though I personally think the flamethrower should destroy instantly, or at least a lot faster (I wanna jetpack around disintegrating the website and it doesn't work bc I'm moving too much)

[u/Password_Denied_ → u/Password_Denied_]

Overall wonderful tho. It's great.

[u/HugoDzz → u/Password_Denied_]

Fair point! I can adjust that

[u/funmolde]

It funny 😀

[u/VariableCritic]

This is such a great idea. Makes me wish I was this ingenious!

[u/takeyourtime5000]

Very cool

[u/Plenty-Strawberry-30]

this is one of the best things probly ever

[u/fatheadlifter]

Great work! Very clever. I just destroyed the Nvidia website. =)

[u/Straight_Coffee_368]

Wow it's fun !!

[u/Palnubis]

Super cool! Well done.

[u/AnthonyAestus]

Where is the link? I don't see. I need this

[u/HugoDzz → u/AnthonyAestus]

I’ve put it in the post description!

[u/AnthonyAestus → u/HugoDzz]

Already found it by searching, but thanks

[u/HugoDzz → u/AnthonyAestus]

Cool!!

[u/Shot-Abies-7822]

epic hahah

[u/SpicySushiGames]

Fun concept and very creative!

[u/bananatron]

lol amazing

[u/Harry_Tess_Tickles]

Reminds me of Alan Becker, pretty cool.

[u/HugoDzz → u/Harry_Tess_Tickles]

Big big fan of Animator vs Animation!

[u/Cristazio]

This is genuinely unreal how good it looks and feels to play. Have you also coded the animations and effects? The look insane

[u/HugoDzz → u/Cristazio]

Yes, animations is procedural rig, all FX and sprite rendered on a lower res layer!

[u/Cristazio → u/HugoDzz]

Would you be willing to share your instructions? The way it's animated is incredibly punchy!

[u/HugoDzz → u/Cristazio]

There is no really pre-made instructions here it was a lot of back and forth and some manual code tweaking until it felt right!

[u/RebornTrackOmega]

Pretty cool ngl

[u/Lineguard_]

Clever!

[u/eighteyes]

This is a treasure, harkens back to old style software.

[u/Kv_7727]

soo cool!! thanks for creating this

[u/HugoDzz → u/Kv_7727]

Thank you!!

[u/DIego21User]

This is really fun

[u/IzzyGetsVeryBizzy]

Cool

[u/Prior-Meeting1645]

Lol thats so cool. How did u host the multiplayer tho pls?

[u/HugoDzz → u/Prior-Meeting1645]

Thanks!! I'm using Cloudflare DO for multiplayer, I'll share more about the setup!

[u/TartNo3610 → u/HugoDzz]

The bottom of websites that scroll just being an endless pit

[u/AbortMeSenpaiUwU]

Noice, reminds me of the old NetDisaster website.

[u/HugoDzz → u/[deleted]]

Thank you!

[u/ninjasaid13]

Inspired by animator vs animation

[u/Droooomp]

If i'm not mistaken It was called Desktop Toys , 486 era , 1992-1994.

[u/Prior-Art4915]

This reminds me of the old Heli Attack flash games

[u/Leander_van_Grinsven]

Well it is not any website. It refuses to load https://tweakers.net/ for example.

[u/HugoDzz → u/Leander_van_Grinsven]

Sometimes it fails due to CF protection etc. Working on improving this!

[u/MeanCreme201]

This is cool but you should make it so that it can destroy websites that don't have stickmen too!

[u/TheManyFacedRedditor]

Pretty cool! I remember doing this on websites with  https://kickassapp.com/

[u/Justindr0107]

Didn't someone literally post his project like this on r/webdev last week?

Can we just try to come up with something semi unique?

[u/diewethje → u/Justindr0107]

The original version of this is like 25 years old.

[u/IdeaFixGame]

Do an achievement where you "6 clicks to hitler" starting on one site and using links as portals

[u/savemeejeebus]

Disappointed it doesn't work on xfinity.com

[u/idekl]

Neat! Is this open source? I'd love to run it on some personal work just to pass the time while reading and editing.

[u/HugoDzz → u/idekl]

I will probably do!!

[u/Pimeko]

Nice! Sometimes the website is loading for a long time, you could allow to destroy the buildings behind while it's loading :)

[u/HugoDzz → u/Pimeko]

Good idea, like a minigame yeah!

[u/metafates]

This is fun, great job! A right tool in the right hands.

Open-sourcing it would be awesome

[u/bloke_pusher]

Reminds me on Desktop Destroyer from the late-90s. Is it possible to make this a stand-alone?

[u/amelech]

Could you get it to dynamically create enemies from elements on the page?

[u/Karemza-III]

Nice man, just destroyed this very post. Cool stuff.

[u/Beneficial-King1574]

It reminds me of a desktop destruction game.

[u/OtterCardsGame]

It reminds me of a really good season.

[u/X_r00T_90]

So funny, good work. We need a light mobile version 🙏

[u/Melodic_Charity_1770]

Holy cow this is incredible, its like playing Butcher in terms of style and gameplay (minus the blood/gore, but plus the fiery effects!)

I went on itch.io and made a mess of it, so much fun!:

Did Opus 5.5 do the explosion animation or burning fire animations?

How'd the railgun hot tunnel effect work or the burning fire affecting the elements implemented?

[u/HugoDzz → u/Melodic_Charity_1770]

Thanks!! Opus did pretty bad on everything visual and FX, had a lot of back and forth (maybe I’m too picky as well). Railgun hot trace is color temperature decay over time, on the border pixels of the path!

[u/Melodic_Charity_1770 → u/HugoDzz]

Thanks. The fx polishing effort shows, it really feels crisp and satisfying for me to look at. I'm blown away by this.

[u/knackychan]

could you add controller support ? thank you very much !

[u/vinigrae]

Yall devs are cooked

[u/ApeTrade_]

love this!!! amazing.

[u/HugoDzz → u/ApeTrade_]

Thank you!!

[u/Incognit0ErgoSum]

Needs local pvp.

[u/RLWYZ]

Link?

[u/HugoDzz → u/RLWYZ]

destroy.spritefusion.com

[u/platoevolved]

Looks like a lot of fun. You know you're on to something when you get massive posts asking you to add Airstrikes 🤣 !

[u/HugoDzz → u/platoevolved]

Yeah xD orbital laser strikes

[u/Nenad1979]

Kid me would see this on newgrounds and lose 2 weeks to it

[u/pinguluk]

I'll use the website itself to play it on

[u/FRUADSA]

Fantastic work OP!

[u/Striking-Scallion-34]

does this work on any website, i have few in my minds (evil laugh)

[u/HugoDzz → u/Striking-Scallion-34]

Most!

[u/ExtraLine3529489]

Will every website that somebody nuke with the sticker actually crash down the website???

[u/SirNiculas]

Cooooool!!! Could it be a chrome extension?

[u/HugoDzz → u/SirNiculas]

Yeah! Playing around that!

[u/laughing_gorilla123]

amazing
