I've just never felt the urge to post on hacker news, but it's in my list of places I check frequently for news, I just lurk though. Maybe it's because I dunno how to hacker news, but I just look at the front page. Usually, by the time I am seeing something on HN, whatever I think or have to offer has already been said, usually more eloquently than I'd come up with.

I have more of a presence on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/sentdex/). The bar is lower there. ;)

For news, I have a bookmark dir with a bunch of sources in it, I right click and open all whenever I want to check in and see what the world is up to.

I've only been on HN for about six months now, but from what I have seen in this short time, I wouldn't let "fear" of saying something or posting something you think has already been done stop you.

Case in point: Your first posting. Look at the attention it has gotten. I enjoyed it, and others have enjoyed it. But guess what?

In my short time here I've seen other similar projects posted - and that's not anything against you or them! Ultimately, it's how we all learn from each other, and you shouldn't let prior work stop you from posting - there may be a nugget of new work or something else interesting about it that makes it worthwhile.

For instance, while your project isn't the first of its kind, I do think it may be one of the first to be done in OpenAI's GTA V universe system; even if not, it's one of the few that have been posted here - so it's relatively "fresh".

Just my observations, of course - and thank you for posting!
