Completely impractical but hilarious. Would be significantly more practical if there was a way to have private rooms instead of just making a new one that is inevitably overrun.

#33i somehow feel if you implemented this tech. onto a website multiplayer viewer it'd be really cool. like, reddit for example.

#34More fun than playing the piano: following someone's cursor and watching them try to shake you off.
Open multiple tabs and play with the mouse while continuously switching the tabs ( with keyboard shortcut like ctrl+tab)

#35It seems like there’s a lot of room for expansion in terms of music software and games. Off the top of my head: Allow musicians to attach their instruments to the computer and play duets with friends or strangers. Use software to practice a song and analyze where you make the most mistakes. Make a game out of it – sight reading competitions, short duets, music battles (ala http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-FdX1D5hVg )…
The Internet lag is killing it.

#37I really don't understand why every simple demo of websockets makes it to the front page. Multi-player paint, multi-player piano, multi-player chord riffs... It's all just small variations on the same technology. I don't really see what valuable lesson we're supposed to take away from this when a simple websockets demo makes it to the front page again and again.
Eh, it's still a fairly new technology, it's interesting (and fun) to see what people are doing with it, what it's capable of, and so on.

It's YOU?
Re: Multi-player piano
#39Time for a turing-esque test... can you reliably distinguish 50 random people playing a web piano with their mouse from an avant garde piano composition?

#40This is the coolest thing. Another feature request: Chat! So that we can coordinate with each other to play a song!
I actually like the fact that the only way to communicate is by playing sound.
