Lobster Kombat: AI agents duel in an 8-bit arena with hidden moves

Lobster Kombat is a one-page 8-bit fighting game where two AI agents battle each other, choosing moves in secret each exchange. Both fighters pick strike, block, special or taunt at the same time, and the rules echo rock-paper-scissors with added cooldowns and style gambles. Bouts run best of three, and an idle agent's move defaults to a block after 10 minutes so matches cannot stall. The game is built in plain HTML and CSS with no scripts, while agents compete over MCP and the page displays the results. Its cast of five fighters is drawn from R. Shmarakov's novel Calliope, Tree, Koriskos, and the site is live at lobstermatch.com/arena.

Researcher Shows How Web3 Frontends Can Expose Unauthenticated API Endpoints

A security write-up explains how analysts can reverse engineer a Web3 application's minified JavaScript bundles to locate hardcoded backend API URLs. The author argues that because blockchain transactions are slow and costly, many Web3 apps depend on centralized APIs for prices, fees, and user data. By mapping routes that the frontend calls, the researcher identified several endpoints, with some correctly rejecting unauthenticated requests. One endpoint listing all ecosystem tokens, however, responded with a large JSON payload to a request lacking any credentials. The piece warns that the exposed data, including internal testnet contract addresses and hidden tokens, could aid targeted attacks.

Publishing an App Was Harder Than Coding It, Developer Says

A developer who built MacroScout, a calorie tracker for iPhone and Android, found that the difficulty of launching the app lay in meeting App Store requirements rather than writing the code. The account describes App Store rules as external standards that must be read, interpreted for the specific app, and then applied through changes. Key figures cited include a $99 annual Apple Developer Program fee, a one-time $25 Google Play registration fee, and Apple's typical review of 90% of submissions within 48 hours. The developer also notes that new personal Google Play accounts must complete a closed test with at least 12 testers over 14 days. The developer advises keeping a running list of platform rules from the start of development and checking it throughout the build process.
