AXION

game-dev godot pixel-art chiptune webassembly

An original Mega Man X-style action platformer, built from scratch and playable in the browser. No engine assets and no stock art: every sprite, tile, sound effect and music track is generated from code in this repo.

  • Full opening stage: a collapsing highway, a truck-filled lower deck, a wall-kick shaft, swinging crane platforms, and a shielded mid-boss with a scripted rescue beat.
  • Sprites and tiles are ASCII pixel maps rendered to PNG by a Python pipeline, locked to a 72-colour palette that an audit enforces on every asset.
  • The soundtrack is written as note tables and rendered through a 2A03-faithful engine: four monophonic voices, stepped 60 Hz envelopes, and a composed echo instead of any reverb.
  • Movement is the real thing: dash, dash-jump, wall slide and wall-kick, a three-level charge buster, coyote time and jump buffering.
  • Exported to WebAssembly with Godot's no-threads template, so it runs on plain static hosting with no special headers.

Hands-Free Claude Code

voice ai python macos

Voice-first interface for Claude Code with a floating HUD, VAD-only capture, local STT, and spoken replies. One CLI boots everything; preferences from a single config file.

  • Hands-free loop: VAD capture → faster-whisper STT → Claude Code (streaming) → HUD → TTS → back to listening.
  • Floating HUD (CustomTkinter) with mic mute and screenshot toggles, plus optional typed input.
  • Config-only setup: single config.toml drives all behavior; state files live under platformdirs directory.
  • WebRTC VAD-gated capture with optional guided calibration and sensitivity slider.
  • Kokoro ONNX TTS for high-quality spoken responses or macOS 'say' fallback.
  • Optional per-turn screenshots saved and attached for visual context.
