Re: Show HN: A friend and my CMU Webapps final project
#2We wrote a little game that should help with pitch recognition. Uses Couch for storing high scores, Redis for cache and Tornado for the server.
Makes use of Audiolib.js (https://github.com/jussi-kalliokoski/audiolib.js/) for audio that works in FF/Chrome. Bit weird in FF though, but at least it plays.
I did most of the JS and my friend did most of the backend. We were sorta on deadline, so the design isn't quite what I would call perfect (ha) and my JS is super-messy in places. Also, there are bits where I inexplicably use jQuery for stuff I had been doing without a framework and other weird inconsistencies like that, but hey, it works. Anyway, let me know what you think! Thanks.

#3I don't use Facebook, sorry. (Was FB integration really needed?)

I agree that they probably didn't need Facebook, but a generation ago, it would have been an email address that they required, and I would have just used a "junk" account. I'm honestly wondering, for people who don't like Facebook, what is the problem with just having a "junk" Facebook account?

Facebook doesn't really like "junk" accounts.

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.

And Hotmail et al did?

#8I 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.

Interesting. Should start fairly slow... The idea is to catch notes that are in key (black ones) while avoiding those that are out of key (red ones). I'll try to slow down the blocks a bit to make it easier.

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