paul - really glad that you enjoyed the post and I appreciate that you appreciated me mentioning the talk! It's so good! It was great to get to revisit it and borrow from it so directly. And that's a lovely easter egg! Had no idea

don't think there's any chance of it happening but definitely daydreamed about getting it upstreamed after the Google Calendar twitter account posted about it! That'd be a ton of fun.

Ha! It'd be pretty fun to let folks pay a dollar to like, add special sound effects / intro sounds to their moves or something :D

Oh fun q - let's see. The basic idea came from me brainstorming with a separate friend about how to make games like stranger video[1] - we got into the idea of a game you could play entirely via calling a number. I pitched "rock p

Oh this is a great suggestion! It's not immediately clear to me how we'd support this (just from some light searching) - I'm going to keep poking around but if anyone knows more about how to make this work I'd love to he

greg's collaborator here - this was a ton of fun to work on!! my favorite part was testing this in person - people would call the number, realize how the game worked, and then sprint across the room so that their opponent couldn&#x27

At my last job we had types for a `Time.t` (time + date + timezone), a `Date.t` (just a day of the year), and a `Time.Ofday.t` (a time of the day with no timezone or date attached - like 8:00 AM). This worked really well! You represent (1)

For the tablets I was picturing things that were pretty clearly labeled - you'd know what you're getting into. Like an exhibit or an installation (but in many places, not one). I don't think I'd want people to be surpris

Thanks for the feedback! I'll think about what you said about the buy me a coffee link. The vibe of the website is intentional though; I wanted the website to feel like a weird little hole in your computer that someone was staring at y

Huh, I (naively, I guess, although this seemed largely true of my playtesters) thought that folks would assume that this was how it worked. The site does mention that it uses WebRTC although it certainly is not a "huge disclaimer"

A friend last night floated a similar idea re: cutting off too fast - it'd be great to get sent a slo-mo of them blinking. I think you're totally right that it cuts too quickly and would gain a lot there. In general I am very very

yeah, that message plays if the face detection can't find a face. It's a little wonky because on their end the face detection gets their whole webcam (and then crops to just the face) - but the cropped version is all that's

I think this is likely an issue with the way that I am (trying to) set up the (ideally) peer to peer video connection. One thing you could try is to switch to a mobile device using data if you're having trouble matching with folks from

I definitely don't want to make you do any work, but if you keep having problems i'm happy to debug your setup with you (just email eieiogames@gmail.com) for as long as you have patience! in my experience the face detection is rel

this is definitely not intentional and is probably some combination of me doing a bad job of setting up webrtc, people having spotty internet, and people messing with the site.

fwiw without any interaction I think I could push this to something like 10 FPS! Just can’t do that here since you can’t accept input during the AppleScript Finder calls. (no idea if that’s enough to look ok)

Ha! You're right that it can be a hard balance. I think it's easier to stay on the "we can do better" track when working on a hobby project like this. At work I'm typically thinking about whether a marginal day spen

Ah thanks for both links! Fun to see that you also chose the filesystem :). Excited to check it out when I am back at a windows machine in a few weeks. I actually played a bit with font games and wrote Hexagone[1] to see what writing a font

Oh I had no idea - thanks! I’ll play around with that. V cool to get two super helpful AppleScript comments in 5 minutes!

Oh my goodness I didn’t even think to check if something like this existed! I will certainly check it out (although I do get a bit of delight from the core loop being AppleScript)
