If you have not yet seen this site, please free a couple of hours and browse through archives, it's the best educational material I have ever seen!

Ordinarily, I follow the HN best practice of clicking through to a link first rather than upvoting based solely on the headline and domain.

Seeing there's a new Bartosz Ciechanowski explainer might be my one exception to this rule.

I love the web audio API. I've been making a game where the theme is "I don't do art" so my assets are CSS, emojis, and manually made sounds using frequency and sinewaves and such.

The one lesson I learned the hard way is that if you run a full-volume sine wave long enough you can permanently destroy your laptop speakers.

Reminds me of DOS terminal games like Rogue and ZZT which used ASCII characters to draw everything. I hope you post it once it's ready

Audio is not working for the three keys on iOS.

Amazing content as always otherwise.

Minutes.

I never repeated the experiment. Maybe my laptop was a dud or something.
