2 |
3 | Hey friends! I'm Ishan ([@Ishan](https://hackclub.slack.com/app_redirect?channel=U01ACA3M90C)), I'm 17, and I'm a Hack Clubber emailing you from Vermont!
4 |
5 | _[@sampoder](https://sampoder.com/) and me (right) at Hack Club HQ_

7 | This email is a 5-minute monthly rundown of what your fellow Hack Clubbers have been up to this past month! You're receiving this email because you're in the [Hack Club Slack](https://hackclub.com/slack/).

9 | ### Four Community Ships 🚢
10 |
11 | 
12 |
13 | 
[Ian](https://yodacode.xyz/) made [GitWrite](https://github.com/yodalightsabr/gitwrite) – _"Ever wanted to add easter eggs to your GitHub profile, or leave a fancy message for anyone inspecting your contribution graph?"_ It does so by spoofing the dates on past commits. As to why he built it, Ian responded with a solid _"why not?"_ 
14 |

18 |
19 | 
20 |
21 | 
[Mutammim](https://www.mutammim.com/) made [Bunny](https://github.com/mutammim/bunny) – a Slack command that lets you find active channels – because _"I wanted to help Hack Clubbers find where conversation was currently happening, so they can discover new channels and meet new people!"_ Try it out by running `/bunny` in Slack! The [repository](https://github.com/mutammim/bunny)'s description is _"🐇What's trending on your Slack? See the most active channels."_

29 | 
[Ellie](https://github.com/CodeLongAndProsper90), along with help from 
[Arcade](https://arcadewise.me/), shipped the [Hack Club Tilde server](https://github.com/hackclub/tilde) – a shared Linux server – on June 8. I asked Ellie what the motivation behind the project was – "to try and recapture the feeling of computers being a forum and not a device."

[Jessica](http://jessicard.com/) and her crack team of Assembly enthusiasts, which includes 
[Belle](https://belle.is-a.dev/), 
[Tej](https://tejas.dino.icu/), 
[carot](http://carrot.dev/), 
[Ella](https://ella.cx/) and 
[Henry](http://henrybass.github.io/) shipped [Some Assembly Required](https://github.com/hackclub/some-assembly-required) – a cute, approachable guide to the notoriously difficult [assembly language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language) – and boy did it ship, gaining more than [1.3K stars in a single day](https://star-history.com/#hackclub/some-assembly-required). It's now almost at 2K stars! As Jessica recounts, _"Since forever ago, I've wanted to try writing assembly, even if just to understand why the [Rollercoaster Tycoon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RollerCoaster_Tycoon_(video_game)#:~:text=Sawyer%20wrote%2099%25%20of%20the,%2C%20rendering%2C%20and%20paint%20programs.) creator would write 99% of the game in it."_ The project even climbed to the [#1 spot on Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31909183).

51 | ### Get together IRL!!
52 |
53 | 
54 |
55 | 150+ hackers will gather at [Assemble](https://assemble.hackclub.com/), Hack Club's hackathon in [Figma](https://www.figma.com/)'s 100,000 square foot San Francisco HQ from August 5 to 7! There's still a handful of spots left at Assemble, so [get signed up](https://register.assemble.hackclub.com/)! There's a limited number of travel stipends available. 
[Zach](https://twitter.com/zachlatta) promises there are no surprises at Assemble, but we don't believe him.
56 |
57 | I asked DALL-E 2 what the hackathon might look like (_"hackers eating pizza at high noon, realistic style"_). Warning: ⚠️ results may not be accurate.

62 |
63 | ### Fun things!!!
64 |
65 | - I just found out that [Dylan Field](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_Field), the CEO of Figma, rapped on a Hack Club AMA. [Take a look for yourself](https://youtu.be/fDKYjX37cbo?t=3747). Dylan will be at Assemble, so maybe we should ask him to rap there too.
66 |
67 | - 
[8-ball (omniscient)](https://github.com/cosmicoptima/8-ball), an AI-powered bot and past ship by 
[Celeste](https://github.com/cosmicoptima), continues to amaze us in [#8-ball](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C03DNGQA6SY).
68 |
69 | - Check out [#cats](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/CDLBHGUQN), [#dogs](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/CDJV1CXC2), and [#the-litter-box](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C039E59328Y). They're all pet channels! The last one is even centered around a [code-controlled](https://github.com/karamassie/madcatbot) robo-pet. 🤖
70 |
71 | - Look at all the [free stuff you get](https://toolbox.hackclub.com/) for being a Hack Clubber – such as Zoom Pro and free access to Postman's Teams plan. [Running a nonprofit on Hack Club Bank](https://hackclub.com/bank/)? You can now [get free 3D printed wallets](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C0M8PUPU6/p1655504321502629) from 
[Ella](https://hackclub.slack.com/app_redirect?channel=U01D6FYHLUW)!
72 |
73 | - Coming soon: write arcade-like JS games that run on actual hardware 😱 – [see an early version of the Hack Club Sprig](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C6LHL48G2/p1657136014429409).

9 | 
10 |
11 |
12 | 
[Maggie](https://maggieliu.dev) shipped [Replbio](https://replit.com/@MaggieLiu1/replbio?v=1), an easy way to make one of those fancy bio pages you've seen on the net: you just define your name, profile picture, and social links in JSON, and it gets hosted on Replit, complete with a guestbook 😮!! Check out Maggie's [own bio page here](https://replbio.maggieliu1.repl.co). I asked her how she got the idea for Replbio: _"Glitch has a cool glitch-in-bio project, so i thought it would be fun to make one that worked on Replit and add more features!"_

20 | 
[Jaden](https://jadenhou.me/) made [Dino Explorer](https://dinoexplorer.hackclub.com/), his first ship! It lets you view multiple dinos at once instead of scrolling through the [hackclub/dinosaurs](https://github.com/hackclub/dinosaurs) repo. Here's Jaden's motivation behind the [JavaScript project](https://github.com/InternetRamen/dino-explorer) was: _"I made dino explorer to see all the amaazing dinos at once :0"_

[Aiden](https://aidenybai.com/) pushed an update to [Million.js](https://millionjs.org/), a lightweight Virtual DOM, that makes React 11 times faster 
. Why? Because _"facebook is slow so lets make react fast"_

[Japroz](https://japrozsaini.me/) made [arc](https://github.com/japrozs/arc), their own **compiled** programming language that uses LLVM! It even has smart error messages!
37 |
38 | _"I wanted a high level language with a strong type system that compiles (zig does exactly that) but i wanted to implement my own compiled language"_. Truly

[John](https://john-murphy-eth.vercel.app/) made [GuessThatRank](https://www.guessthatrank.com), a neat social game where you guess players' rank based on clips of gameplay and submit your own! It just hit 500 users 🎉. You can find the code (mostly TypeScript) [on GitHub](https://github.com/jmurphy5613/guess-that-rank).

57 |
58 | Yes, I'm talking about Assemble. Or rather, [Sam](https://sampoder.com) is:

60 |
61 | How does one put fourty-two hours of chaos into a couple of sentences? I'm not sure, but I'm going to give it a shot. On August 5th, 175 Hack Clubbers descended on Market Street in San Francisco for the first high school hackathon in 🌁 San Francisco since the pandemic! Together, we built projects based on the prompt "Stupid Shit Nobody Needs", fought 
The Organization, chugged down (potentially) dangerous amounts of caffeine, had a late-night disco and much more.
62 |
63 | 
64 |
65 | The highlight for me, however, was getting the chance to meet so many Hack Clubbers! We had folks from 12 different countries and 20+ US states, each of them incredibly special individuals who I wish I could have spent hours more talking to. Words really can't describe the ✨ magical ✨ atmosphere that took over Figma's office that weekend.

69 | I'd recommend checking out our 📸 [collaborative photo album](https://hack.af/assemble-album), 🚢 [everyone's projects on Scrapbook](https://scrapbook.assemble.hackclub.com) and 
[Arianna's vlog of the entire event](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C0M8PUPU6/p1660786162270309).

82 |
83 |
84 | At Assemble, 
[Zach](https://zachlatta.com/) announced that [Hack Club and FIRST are offering a **✨ $500 grant ✨**](https://hackclub.com/hackathons/grant) to in-person high-school hackathons hosted before the end of 2022!!!

Learn more at [hackclub.com/hackathons/grant](https://hackclub.com/hackathons/grant) and [APPLY HERE!](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C03TS0VKFPZ)
85 |
86 | Here's what [Maggie](https://maggieliu.dev)'s going to do with her grant:
87 | > I’m running [Leland Hacks](https://lelandhacks.com/), an in-person hackathon in the Bay Area, and we got the grant :money_with_wings: after applying through the awesome [grant dino slack bot](https://github.com/hackclub/grant-dino). We’re planning to spend the money on making Leland Hacks even more special, with swag and boba 
!

92 |
93 | - Check out

[#memes](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/CB19EP4MC), or explore the best messages of the [Hack Club Slack](https://hackclub.com/slack) in ⭐️ [#hall-of-fame](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C028VGT0JMQ).
96 | - Code something small and special in HTML, CSS, & JS (no frameworks) and share it with other Hack Clubbers through [#freewrite](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C03TE1RLR7V/p1660684775476709)!
97 | - Play games 🎮 made by fellow Hack Clubbers (or code your own) using 
[Sprig](https://sprig.hackclub.dev), a beginner-friendly game engine: [Sprig Gallery](https://sprig-gallery.hackclub.dev/)
98 | - Join [#amas](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C03QPB0SU3V) and help 
[Mark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) bring amazing guests to [Hack Club's AMAs](https://hackclub.com/amas) 😎
99 | - Do some good-old lurking 🕵️ to find out if there are other Hack Clubbers near you 📍! Hack Clubbers have been meeting up - [#bayarea](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C014M6C0CNA), [#seattle](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C023L02KGHZ), [#boston](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C02A1MS6TD4), [#new-york](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C029VBNK0UV), [#india](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C34HPC3J4), [and more](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C03L35R822Y/p1660101850115939) - and it looks like so much fun.

1 | # 🎒 🍃 ✨ What the hack happened this month at Hack Club?
2 |
3 | Hey friends!
4 |
5 | 
[Sam](https://github.com/sampoder), Hack Clubber from Singapore, here. This is a rundown of some of the amazing things your fellow Hack Clubbers have been up to since August!
6 |
7 | To start, last week, we shared the 6-minute [
Assemble Documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnK4gzO6S3Q): a film on the 42 hour hackathon in August nearly 200 of you came to. It showcases the magical experience of attending a hackathon, and our hope is that it can help organizers share what’s in store for attendees at their hackathons – please consider checking it out!

15 | ## 🎒 Hacking The Back To School
16 |
17 | Incredible Hack Club meetings are happening in schools across the world this month, like 
[Linkai](https://linkaiwu.com/) and 
[Tinu](https://tinu.tech/) had more than a dozen friends at their club in Silver Spring, Maryland this month.
18 |
19 | 
20 |
21 | My school's club is about to kick off for the year and I'm excited to get back to making something new every Monday lunch break!
22 |
23 | To prepare for the new school year, clubs have been busy shipping new websites to pitch their club to prospective members. Here are a couple of my favourites:
24 |
25 | 
26 |
27 | [CCHS Hack Club (Chicopee, MA)](https://cchshackclub.hackclub.com) - website built by 
[Jianmin](https://www.jianminchen.com/)! That Julia Fractal (the generative art on the right) is stunning 🤩. We have [a workshop](https://workshops.hackclub.com/julia_fractals/) that you can use to make a similar piece, if you're curious. [Jianmin](https://www.jianminchen.com/) has open sourced [her approach here](https://github.com/cchshackclub/website/blob/main/index.js), it's a super interesting piece of code to read!
28 |
29 | 
30 |
31 | [Edison Hack Club (Queens, NY)](https://edisonhack.club) - website built by 
[Kyle](https://kyleliao.tech/)! He hacked it together just in time for the school year. Interestingly, their logo was generated using DALL-E. I agree with 
[Celeste](https://celeste.exposed/), who commented _"i like that — afaict — one of the first things i see upon opening the site is members’ projects"_ in response to the #ship, that's awesome!
32 |
33 | 
34 |
35 | [Pomperaug Hack Club (Southbury, CT)](https://pomperaug.hackclub.com) - website built by 
[Neesh](https://neesh.ilioslabs.dev/)! I really love how they've used the ["Welcome to Hack Club" video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sxRdKtKNa0) on there. Their site also has just the right amount of sarcasm, nice one [Neesh](https://neesh.ilioslabs.dev/).
36 |
37 | If you've built a website for your club (or just built anything in general!) recently, you should [#ship](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C0M8PUPU6) it on [Slack](https://hackclub.com/slack). It's always so much fun seeing what fellow Hack Clubbers have made!
38 |
39 | ## 🍃 Sprig Takes Off
40 |
41 | The big news of the month from HQ was the release of [Sprig](https://sprig.hackclub.com), a handheld gaming console where every player is a creator! In total, :sparkles: _**430 consoles**_ :sparkles: are going to be manufactured & shipped out to Hack Clubbers who make games.
42 |
43 | 
44 |
45 | Any teenager can get a console by:
46 | > :video_game: Building a Sprig game in [the online JavaScript game editor](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com).
47 | >
48 | > 🔀 Making a pull request to add your game to the Sprig gallery in [the GitHub repository](https://github.com/hackclub/sprig)
49 |
50 | It's been so special seeing the Hack Club community banding together to create games. On our recent Sprig Jam, I tried my hand at building my own game called [The Reactor](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com/?file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackclub/sprig/main/games/reactor.js). Everyone in [#sprig](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C02UN35M7LG) was so wonderfully kind & helpful as I made my way through the process.
51 |
52 | The games that everyone's been shipping & submitting are incredible; here are some of my favourites from [the Gallery](https://sprig.hackclub.com/gallery)(you can click on each one to play it):
53 |
54 | | | | |
55 | |---|---|---|
56 | | [](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com/?file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackclub/sprig/main/games/kindless.js) | [](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com/?file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackclub/sprig/main/games/raycasting.js) | [](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com/?file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackclub/sprig/main/games/nomis.js)|
57 | | [](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com/?file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackclub/sprig/main/games/friendship.js) | [](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com/?file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackclub/sprig/main/games/minesweeper.js) | [](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com/?file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackclub/sprig/main/games/multiplayer_soccer.js)|
58 |
59 | Sprigs are going to start shipping in October; I'm looking forward to receiving mine, assembling it & playing these games on the console! In the meantime, I've heard whispers of seeds coming in the mail 👀
60 |
61 | ## ✨ The Return of IRL Hackathons
62 |
63 | What excites me the most in Hack Club right now is the return of IRL [high-school hackathons](https://hackclub.com/hackathons)! Hackathons are a big part of how I got into programming and seeing them return in-person is incredible. Last week, for example, [Maggie](https://maggieliu.dev/) hosted Leland Hacks:
64 |
65 | 
66 |
67 | _( [Maggie](https://maggieliu.dev/) made some of [the most incredible swag designs](https://scrapbook.hackclub.com/maggie) for Leland Hacks! No wonder everyone's swarming the swag table.)_
68 |
69 | And over the next semester, there's many more high school hackathons in stall across the globe:
70 |
71 | - [Sego Lily Hacks](https://www.segolilyhacks.com/) ~ October 7–8 in Salt Lake City, UT
72 | - [Hack Austin!](https://hackaustin.net/) ~ October 16 in Austin, TX
73 | - [Unite Hacks](https://www.unitehacks.com/) ~ October 22 in Oakland, CA

82 | It's been amazing seeing Hack Clubbers working together in [#hackathon-organizers](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C03QSGGCJN7) to create all these magical hackathons. In that Slack channel we talk about raising money, prizes, food, swag & more! As someone organising my own hackathon, it means a lot to have a group of friends there to help me along the way.

89 | So that's what's been happening this month! Looking to escape school & get more involved? _Here a couple of great ways to get more involved in the community at the moment:_
90 |
91 | - 👋 Join a [Hack Night](https://hackclub.com/night/) call! Every Saturday evening (in America, for me its Sunday morning!), we all jump on a Zoom call to hang out and code together.
92 |
93 | - 🌈 Organise a hackathon using [Hack Club Bank](https://hackclub.com/bank), with the help of fellow organisers in [#hackathon-organizers](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C03QSGGCJN7) and with one of [our $500 high-school hackathon grants](https://hackclub.com/hackathons/grant).
94 |
95 | - 🎒 Bring together a group of friends & bring the hack to your school by starting a club: https://apply.hackclub.com!
96 |
97 | - 🍃 Procrastinate by playing games in the [Sprig Gallery](https://sprig.hackclub.com/gallery), or, even better, "productively procrastinate" by [making a Sprig game](https://editor.sprig.hackclub.com/).
98 |
99 | - 🔥 Start a streak on [Scrapbook](https://scrapbook.hackclub.com). (Personally, I've just started posting about learning Redwood [on mine](https://scrapbook.hackclub.com/sampoder)!)
