P.S. Another thing I've had in mind was the ability to connect MIDI keyboards and have them mimic EMS DK keyboard behavior within SYNTHI-JS. I wasn't sure if it was possible to work directly with MIDI devices in JavaScript, but it

It's something that I've been thinking about! It should be relatively straightforward to implement a virtual keyboard. My thought was to model it as an oscillator that only outputs sound for as long as a key is held down and whose

The Firefox issue is interesting – all UI interactions appear to have about a 500ms delay before the synthesizer output is affected. I can't figure out if it's an issue with WebAudio in Firefox, or a Flocking issue, or something o

Ah, good idea! I'll add that tonight.

This is something I've been working on the past few months. It's still got some quirks but is mostly feature-complete. See https://github.com/AlexNisnevich/synthi-js for more details. Chrome 45+ or Safari 7.

We based it on a board game called Voluspa about Norse mythology, and we figured that since Finland is right next to Sweden, it was an appropriate reskin. Also, we think Finnish mythology is way cool.

As a temporary measure for the can't-connect-after-quitting-to-main-menu issue, quitting to the main menu now refreshes the page instead. Not the cleanest solution, but at least it works for now.

Thanks for your input! The View Rules button should work now - in case there are still issues, you can see the rules here: http://alexnisnevich.github.io/kalevala/rules.html It might be helpful to play Single Player ag

Ooh, good catch! player.pickUpItem should definitely be renamed to player._pickUpItem and not made available to the player.

Oops, it should work now.

setPhoneCallback works perfectly for me in level 9 -- in fact, it's my intended solution: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6e5606649b3cb0d60797

Thanks for the feedback! We've been thinking about doing that, but the challenge is making it inconspicuous enough to not clash with our minimalist aesthetic.

The game was broken for a bit, and it's possible that your saved state got corrupted. Try restarting the game by running localStorage.clear() in the JavaScript console, then refreshing the page. Does that fix it?

Hmm, do you notice anything different about the menu now that you're on level 21?
52.
by alnis 13y ago
This is definitely something we'll work on! I'm sorry that it was difficult to tell which lines were editable. Maybe we should add a contrast slider of some kind?

Oh, only level 19 is DOM-based - level 20 and 21 are different. You may have been unable to load correctly them due to the stress on the server, but you should check them out at some point :-)

by alnis 13y ago
There is a level select! :-) It's in the Menu (Ctrl-0). We really should bring more attention to it.

I just added a feature to the game that watches certain functions and compares them to what they were at the start of the game (during the level validation phase). I'm sure this can still be gamed though.

Does the mirror [ http://alexnisnevich.github.io/untrusted/ ] work for you?

Can you show me what the jQuery level looks like for you? I want to make sure that it's working correctly.

These are both beautiful.

Good catch -- I fixed the Makefile to actually go along with how http-server is installed in the README.
