   This is great feedback, thank you for playing and let me know these comments. Yes I definitely need to improve the mechanic of pausing / restarting the game when hand tracking is lost. I'll try to implement it the way you suggest

   Thank you! Mediapipe is quite neat, I'd like to try some other projects with their hand tracking / face tracking

   I noticed this in Seoul and Busan -- almost everyone was wearing similar outfits, predominantly in Beige / White / Black.

   Fair point. Given that these values are adjusted for dividends/inflation, at least that means your retirement savings slightly outperformed the rate of inflation over 20 years. Not a great outcome for retirement savings, but better tha

    This is an interactive Canadian inflation tracker, showing price changes for various items (housing, food, transportation, etc.) from 1978 to 2024 — all based on data from Statistics Canada. We can use this tool to answer questions like: -

    It was lunacy not to cash out a few millions (at the bare minimum). A painful lesson in the follies of gambling.

    Many Canadian entrepreneurs are content to build a "small" startup, sell to an American firm for a few million, then "retire" to side projects, hockey, beer, and surviving winter. I can't blame them -- I'd do t

    I hadn’t heard of AAlib before, but just read the wiki for it, and yes this is a similar tool but for the browser. This makes it easy to create video ascii art from any computer or phone

    Yes this website is mainly for aesthetics and art. I will however add a feature that will generate the relevant chars / line breaks of a given still image, so that it can be exported to notepad.

    Thank you! It was fun making this. I think I'll try some other video manipulations now that I've got code for splitting videos into frames / reading pixel data from each frame.

    Happy to hear it! That's a great suggestion -- I will add that feature. Probably a button that you can press in the GUI, which will then populate a text field at the bottom with the relevant chars / line breaks of that frame.
