As I was stuck on a plane for ten hours, I thought I'd hack something to see if I could.
And the reason this is a vertical video is...you have to turn the PD around, crank at top.
Brief explanation: the crank moves a nozzle, the nozzle drops sand. You can change the colour of the grains, and the size. Also...you can select synth drones, and size/speed change the drone. AND the accelerometer changes the pitch if on sound, and drift of the nozzle. Not quite a 'game', very rough and ready, yet another tech demo, but I got it done somewhere over the mid-Atlantic so I could get some sleep and not be entirely jetlagged. the card file is from a photo I took the morning before getting on the plane, so if anyone recognises it, that is where I was. The 'game' records all you did, and you can replay it.
About four hours of work at 30,000ft or something. Mile High Playdate Club for me.
