I must be doing something wrong, because it just drops a bunch of notes/rectangles on me and I lose within half a second. What's the purpose? Chrome on Ubuntu, by the way.

Should start a bit slower now, and speed up as you play.

Oh, right, I wasn't avoiding the red ones. It was still too fast, though, hopefully it's better now. I'll test in a bit, thanks!

jeff eppinger's class?

Taught by Anthony Tomasic this semester, but yes.

fun class. I took it a few years ago, i remember one team did a 'nethack' style game using photos they'd taken in wean hall (i think they'd done the whole thing the night before). It was pretty funny to sit there while they presented and politely not try to laugh. Of course they thought it'd be humorous, and it was, but at that time the humor for us students was more from sitting in the audience and trying to re-live what must have been going through their heads the night before.

I don't use Facebook, sorry. (Was FB integration really needed?)

It probably wasn't, but we needed some way to save high scores, and "outsourcing" auth to FB was the simplest way. I've done other projects where that's optional, and that'll probably be the end goal for this as well. If it's any consolation, I don't like sites that only use FB auth either... this is just a product of the time-constraint.

Any way to put a quick hack so we can play without using FB login? Would love to try it out...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And Hotmail et al did?

Yes, you could have your 246th email account as myspamaccount@hotmail.com without any fuss?!

you can still have junk facebook accounts, the sign up process is slightly longer than hotmail's, but not by much. I still have around 15 junk facebook accounts or so... I only remember the passwords for about 3 of them.

I'll do my best to hack in a non-Facebook version when I get some time. Definitely a necessity.
