    Maybe Microsoft asked "GPT5" for an innovative way to takeover ; )

    Looks fun, thanks for the X ref. Will try again later when back at desktop and send over a debugger if still same issue! Nice idea!

    Not working for when I tried. I wonder if I print a set of open eyes and test your game.... Will it detect the trick? Would I win or get banned? Jokes aside, eager to test ; )

    I didn't like the blinking at first, so I made it pulse instead (smoother) but was never to the point of headaches. that said, sound should work if you can keep a headset ; )

    Looks good! Try doing one on a physical device too... My settings are just related to fade after reaching target or turn off immediately, Led colour (my ESP32 has a RGB onboard) an…

    Nice one! I will be curious to learn if that works for others too. In my case v.1 and 2 were apps with a similar on screen red dot like yours. Much smaller and first placed at the …

    My guess is that may be working more like a simple "maestro" telling your brain orchestra and heart drummer to reduce the speed from Heavy metal to Ballad and that somehow makes ea…

    In principle yes, Anything you get aware that goes fast-to-slow in a smooth gradient is the idea. I tried sound (beats) on a headphone with some tracks, then build a tiny app to sh…

    Hope it works for you too ; ) Try without a heart monitor first (cheap and easy to build) then improve as you see fit!

    We use on video-applications when pre processing them, the idea is to sense stress levels when the applicant is introducing themselves at the start of the video and then not reduci…

    I see, well in that case just search for ESP32 on Amazon and get one for a $5, then look for a few videos on Youtube who to program for a ESP32 board and you will probably learn as…

    That's cool! I get stressed just looking at it ; ) Jokes aside, whatever works... For me a side device with a pulsating red light with a heart sync for the lope do the gig! Deadlin…

    Sure, May do a pic later when back home, meanwhile... I used this ESP32 board, it has RGB LED right in the middle, here is a web picture of one: https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/nobody/wi…

    Great little device, and you don't need to 3D print a case : )

    Really interesting to learn about your solution for you daughter, great to see it works and appreciated the comment of my approach being an underrated one. My case isn't anything a…

    Nice, Let me know how if works for you, for me only the hardware (led outside the screen perimeter) works best.
