Turning the antenna in the treehouse gives different messages of about two minutes each. It’s a bit hard to listen to the whole thing without someone else interrupting by changing the antenna, so here are the audio files: https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/sounds/harold-1.mp3 https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/sounds/harold-2.mp3 There’s talk of the tent near the beach, the gong, and gathering at the big fire once you hear the c…
Hmm this is interesting. I was playing on mute so I didn't notice the radio messages. I was thinking the "convergence point" was the center of camp with the sign since that's where all the paths meet up and the book mentions something about that. The radio also says "I just put a sign on it". >it seems to me the audio may be outdated and that the star map was initially in the book and was since moved to the telescope…

There's mention of the cave and a "convergence point". I tried looking all around the cave, but there doesn't seem to be anything there (although you can find the drawings on the walls) Edit: I looked at the source though and I don't see anything else clickable in the cave... No hidden secret badge either, maybe it is just for ambiance.

>look at the star map,
here's the star map fwiw https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/optimized/maps/telescope.webp, there's a convergence point already labeled.
And for reference here's the map of the camp: https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/optimized/maps/treehouse.webp
Why do you say the point corresponds with the fire, to me it seems closer to the dance studio

#206This is so good! Using mouse motion as a control scheme is particularly genius - how did no one think of this before? I particularly like the points where the mouse control is taken away from you, i.e. when you float downstream, or when you go down a slide. It's also particularly genius how the mouse can 'teleport' around the screen (i.e. when you go into a door and come out somewhere else). This idea could even be t…
There was an old game called cursors.io which was the same concept but collaboratively traversing a maze where you would sometimes have to leave other players behind to reach the next level

#208I absolutely love this. Kind of gives me Club Penguin vibes.
Club Penguin always held a special place in my heart but I never reflected on why. I'm sure part of it is a yearning for simpler times and a childhood unawareness of the nature of the world.
However, playing this reminded me of exploring hidden parts of a map imbued with love, the joys of finding other souls just lounging around or moving excitedly, and the cute little games and things strewn about every corner.

#209When I was a teenager we had the Living Books edition of Arthur's Teacher Trouble on CD-ROM as part of a "multimedia kit". Every page had short animations that would play by clicking on random things with your cursor, in addition to following along with the story, clicking on single words to hear them pronounced and spelled, etc. It was incredible and paved the way for similar phenomena like clickable Easter eggs in…
