(I'd will in general abstain from utilizing WiFi, as it may get startling idleness on the off chance that somebody were doing a "substantial exchange" close by.)</p>

It might have been deleted for some reason, but we haven't made any changes to the repository that we know of. I also tried to track down Mike's (<em>guy in the video</em>) GitHub user changes and that repository doesn't show up anywhere near the time of this blog post.</p>

Used Piezo's to detect knocks. Biggest difficulty was when one sign triggered the next, so I used a timeout to wait for the initial blow to stop resonating. A 500ms timeout seemed to work. Interesting to see how other people tackle the issue.</p>

Customer #394180 on Enginursday: Would you like to play a game?Customer #394180urn:uuid:aa271cf4-ee22-25e3-52dc-ceef9fb22af42017-06-08T07:55:52-06:00<p>Looks like a fun game.<p>For about the same price you could have used Raspberry Pis with built-in wifi. The built-in Linux network stack would have let you use UDP or TCP sockets for communications and you wouldn't have had to spend the time designing, implementing and debugging node addressing, retries, checksums, multi-byte packets, etc. You may have been able to finish the visual front end. Simple is the enemy of easy.</p><p>BTW, if you use a node-js server to implement a web GUI for your front end, then any device that has a browser - PC, Pi, phone, etc. - can be used as your front end hardware.</p><p>But still a fun game. maybe I'll put together the Pi version at home. Thanks for the idea.</p></p>
