   Yup - I mentioned it in an earlier comment [1], came out all the way back in 2003. If you like this kind of "players become hero" mechanic - highly recommend checking out Crawl [2] - a local multiplayer dungeon crawler where the

   Thanks - link updated, went ahead and just percent-encoded the damn thing. For reference - it's a Gamecube game where the other players play as ghosts released all the way back in 2003.

   Nice visualizations - have you tried Rebelle? They have an online version that lets you play with the watercolor/brushes of the painting software so you can see the colors drying on the canvas. https://www.escapemotions.com&

   I grew up playing Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man in dimly lit arcade parlors and bowling alleys. The controls in this version are, for lack of a better word, sluggish compared to the tight responsiveness of the originals on a four-way joystick or

   I think at one point Namco had a multiplayer Pacman Party Game which had a similar premise - whoever manages to eat Pacman gets to be him in the next round. EDIT: Found it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man_Vs%2E

   Yeah, I can believe that. I imagine the Tetris Holdings Company (or whatever it’s called) is pretty litigious about its trademark. The history of Tetris in general, especially as it relates to copyright law and the weird, insanely complicat

   So here goes: *Pros* - Very well polished - Thematically consistent *Cons* - Not a lot of uniqueness in these games; most of them seem to be clones. To that end, I'm legitimately confused about what the OP is expecting to get out of th

   Given that the majority of the games seem to be LLM generated knockoffs of existing games, I'd wager any IP law would be paper thin here. I love how Fable "decided" to get around this issue by just renaming things - it's

   Well it's not like it's really relevant in this situation. You could just point Fable at this website or any website with hundreds of mini games and ask it to clone them. Now "mix" in your own lines of code. Launder and

    QuickBasic, the commercial version of QBASIC, also supported BI files. These could be used to bundle shared code for things like high-precision timers, interrupt usage, etc.

    Done! It's a toggle called "Free Play", and you can default it to on in the Settings.

    Nice job. There's also a relatively well-known app called "TE Tuner" which I've used when helping my students become familiar with fretless instruments (such as the violin) specifically because it lets you visualize th

    Oh! I completely hadn't really thought of that. So maybe what I could add is an option in the settings where it lights up the first note on the piano roll. In the meantime you can open the piano roll and set the "Show note labels

    Hi alok-g, I'm going to be implementing number 1 - a "playground" that lets you sort of plink around until you're happy. I've gotten a number of requests for this. The second request has me a bit confused, so I may

    Glad you like it! A couple of people have asked for this feature and I guess I've been struggling with how to fit this concept into the game. Maybe the answer really is just as simple as a little visual toggle that puts you in a &quot

    Yes! "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" is another popular one for demonstrating a major 6th. Side note but I'd love to see a nicely printed stack of physical cards with popular melodic hooks/jingles, the demonstrated int

    So the only problem is that until you've internalized the intervals a bit better, you might get frustrated trying to sing out solfege since you might say "re" when the note was "mi" in the context of the key signatu

    I’m with you. I rarely use mechanical drills, even though I recognize that they can sometimes have value (cough Hanon cough), especially when you’re focusing on ergonomics. I tend instead to focus on things my student already enjoys, becaus

    Nice job! As someone who is also working on a TUI-inspired editor, this is very cool. Having basically zero knowledge about about Mojo though, it might be nice to place a FAQ section in the repo to expand a bit more on the decision to use i

    It already has that feature! :) It’s just not very obvious. If you click the small lock icon near the top, it will snap and to that difficulty so you can practice only sequences with that specific number of notes.

    Nice job. I actually built a fairly unique edutainment app for the opposite skill set - learning to play by ear. It works with piano, guitar, and other instruments. I always tell my students there’s no reason to choose between sight reading

    Even if you do pull the game itself I would still definitely leave all the post mortem stuff up. I think it's just as interesting and worth keeping around - especially the YT vids demonstrating the harness. I don't have a GH repo

    Nice job - but it's definitely not abandonware having been re-released on Steam [1] (along with a sequel) back in 2015. Regarding the verifier that plays against the live engine, I’ve approached the problem from a similar angle by havi

    First thing I thought of when I tried a Vision Pro was why they never provided a way to attach the battery pack as a pouch on the back so that it sits horizontally across the rear of the head. You have to carry that external battery anyway,

    I had the exact same thought. To me, it feels like they just took the fairly common “sentient video game character” trope and bolted it onto a very conventional snake game. I will say, the act of eating creates a "bulge distortion&quot

    Taking the time to actively recall throughout literary material is another reason I believe reading has much more potential for long-term recall than watching an equivalent YouTube video. Even if a video is educational, most people aren’t i

    Haha yeah that's a pretty stupid price. You can get it on eBay for $12 but you'd better bid fast because I'm sure it's going to be a very competitive auction. :) https://ebay.io/m/zzT1Xf
