klotzkoepfe

Klotzkoepfe is a 2D top-down zombie survival shooter for up to two players on a single keyboard, featuring waves of increasingly stronger zombies and unlockable weapons like shotguns, grenades, and mines. Players must coordinate tactics and weapon usage to survive and achieve the highest combo multiplier.

ScreenChaser

ScreenChaser is a Linux app that syncs your screen colors with WLED devices using Rust. It grabs your screen via Wayland, processes the colors on the GPU, and lets you tweak settings or preview the lights through a built-in web interface.

ScreenChaser What is ScreenChaser ScreenChaser is a Rust bias lighting daemon for Linux. It captures your screen through the Wayland XDG Desktop Portal, extracts zone colors on the GPU via wgpu compute shaders, and streams them to WLED devices over UDP. The embedded webview frontend lets you configu

About

Background and stats

xi72yow is into building tools and apps that lean heavily toward Linux and system-level tinkering. Their projects cover a mix of practical utilities and fun experiments. They've got stuff like input-remapper-rs, which lets you remap input devices at the kernel level, and sei, a tool for managing environment variables securely with GNOME Keyring. Then there’s ScreenChaser, a neat app that syncs your screen colors with WLED devices, and desktop-drac, a Linux-friendly fork of GitHub Desktop. They’ve even dabbled in game dev with klotzkoepfe, a zombie survival shooter for two players on one keyboard.

When it comes to tech, xi72yow seems pretty comfortable with Rust and TypeScript, and they mix in JavaScript, SCSS, and WGSL when needed. They’re all about leveraging the right tools for the job, like using Rust for performance-heavy tasks and TypeScript for web interfaces. Dockerfile and Shell scripts pop up in their repos too, suggesting they’re into containerization and automation. Their projects often have a Linux-first vibe, with things like systemd integration and Wayland support showing up in their work. Overall, they seem to enjoy solving niche problems with clean, efficient code.
