Summary

A website that converts live MLB data into near real-time 8-bit pixel art broadcasts of baseball games, with stadium details, day/night modes, and interstitials.

Hey HN, I built a website to watch live baseball games in an 8-bit broadcast. It takes live MLB data streams and converts them into near real-time pixel art gamecasts.<p>Been waiting to share this for when there’s actually a good slate of games happening since the site is pretty bare otherwise.<p>Here is today&#x27;s schedule:<p>Mets @ Reds - 9:40am PDT <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;824503" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;824503</a><p>Royals @ Nationals - 10:05am PDT <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;822721" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;822721</a><p>Marlins @ Phillies - 10:05am PDT <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;823450" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;823450</a><p>Tigers @ Astros - 11:10am PDT <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;824178" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;824178</a><p>Padres @ Cardinals - 11:15am PDT <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;823044" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ribbie.tv&#x2F;watch&#x2F;game&#x2F;823044</a><p>..and another 14 games throughout the later day.<p>I&#x27;m still early on in this project, but I&#x27;ve tried to add little details with actual stadiums, day and night modes, between inning graphics and interstitials, live scoreboards, etc.<p>Would love any feedback and ideas. Thanks for checking it out!
