I am SO glad jofzar posted this - I remember this website but couldn't recall the company name. Here's a good video on how the site is so fast, from a frontend perspective:

I really enjoyed this! I can't even comprehend how levels can be generated for it. After reading instructions I found it straightforward to play.

FYI there's a misspelled word - "accountat" on the home page.


Awesome! Thank you for playing! And well spotted, will fix!

The process of generating levels is based on constraint solving. For now I'm not going to say much more about it, since it's the most innovative and valuable part of the project.


I think it's a play on the Chinese language having Traditional/ Simplified versions. I'm choosing to take this repo as tongue-in-cheek, which is hard to really determine online...


I want to see it as tongue-in-cheek as well, but, I feel like that's a stretch...what would be the humor in that? But even if it doesn't make sense to me, I prefer your interpretation of motive.


Look as a Brit let me reassure that it is a joke. No one thinks American English is simpler than British English.

I did the exact same thing, due to a feeling of wanting to "even" things out between right and left. Blew my mind that it was a known pattern; after watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prh72BLNjIk&t=549s

I'm always reminded that we are all more alike than we realise :)


I've also enjoyed Google's blob opera, for something similar!

For years, I've wished someone would port Pink Trombone to a VST or something I could control through code.


Only thing I could find is a Eurorack module: https://blog.bela.io/salt-a-bela-powered-programmable-synth-...

I thought there was some repo public with C++ code, but I can't find it anymore... (https://github.com/belaPlatform)

EDIT: stupid me, it's linked in the article: https://github.com/giuliomoro/pink-trombone


Not to nitpick, but, it being "Arts & Culture" and all, they could've at least said opera aria ...

... not song.-


Not to nitpick but an aria is for one voice.


Point.-

PS. The rest are ... what, the choir? A concertante if your fingers are fast enough, I guess :)


I found it unclear because the title of the article and the title of the TV show imply it's only during school, but it's only the second paragraph that it mentions "completely". It seems to contradict the opening sentences.


My rule of thumb: If the headline and the body contradict, always trust the body (or even better, the peer reviewed journal article).

Never trust headlines, they are optimised for clicks, not accuracy. It's also common for headlines to be written by someone other than the article body, someone who potentially only skimmed the article, and changed based on A/B testing.

And TV show titles.... basically useless.


The advertising for this on TV was also confusing in this regard.

It's only because most UK secondary schools already ban phone use in school time that (in context) it obviously means round-the-clock.

Ah, thank you! Alas, can’t remove my comment anymore.


TIL


I would love a version of this based on orange. I've always felt my perception of orange is different from others.
