Show HN: Moongate – Ultima Online server emulator in .NET 10 with Lua scripting
I've been building a modern Ultima Online server emulator from scratch. It's not feature-complete (no combat, no skills yet), but the foundation is solid and I wanted to share it early.
What it does today: - Full packet layer for the classic UO client (login, movement, items, mobiles) - Lua scripting for item behaviors (double-click a potion, open a door — all defined in Lua, no C# recompile) - Spatial world partitioned into sectors with delta sync (only sends packets for new sectors when crossing boundaries) - Snapshot-based persistence with MessagePack - Source generators for automatic DI wiring, packet handler registration, and Lua module exposure - NativeAOT support — the server compiles to a single native binary - Embedded HTTP admin API + React management UI - Auto-generated doors from map statics (same algorithm as ModernUO/RunUO)
Tech stack: .NET 10, NativeAOT, NLua, MessagePack, DryIoc, Kestrel
What's missing: Combat, skills, weather integration, NPC AI. This is still early — the focus so far has been on getting the architecture right so adding those systems doesn't require rewiring everything.
Why not just use ModernUO/RunUO? Those are mature and battle-tested. I started this because I wanted to rethink the architecture from scratch: strict network/domain separation, event-driven game loop, no inheritance-heavy item hierarchies, and Lua for rapid iteration on game logic without recompiling.

Show HN: Claude-replay – A video-like player for Claude Code sessions
I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings.
Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps.
I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay.
You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation.
The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile.
