Reminds me of Cross Fingers, an early iOS game I really enjoyed
Slide to Unlock

Re: Slide to Unlock
#62What's annoying and counter to popular convention / user expectations is that you have to keep your finger in the established path to keep grip of the "ball". (S'pecially given your finger often blocks the view of it).
That's the whole point of the game, no? It was what I expected. Are some slide to unlock bars "ratchets" that stay where you left them?
I think it is less intuitive to non-iOS users... Android has "swipe up to unlock" and there isn't really a UI element.

#63Made it to 3 fingers and then couldn't advance as my phone interpreted a 3 finger swipe as a screenshot. I'm counting it as a win since I learned a new feature of my phone!
Had the same problem at first, but moving one finger before the others made it work. At four fingers my phone can't do it anymore. It seems that it can only detect 3 pressure points at a time.
The same, my S23 doesn't recognise 4 touches.

#64I've been trying to do this for the last 20 minutes on my desktop screen...it's not working.
Now there are finger prints all over my screen...
Any tips?

Uhm haha. On behalf of our community I would like to say that I was perfectly capable of understanding this mechanism thank you. Pretty sure the reason for the unintuitiveness for some people must rely on something else entirely.

#67I think that's the first nontrivial use of multitouch that I have seen in the wild (i.e. that is not basic "pinch to zoom" stuff). Really cool!
How about touch instruments like GeoShred? https://apps.apple.com/de/app/geoshred/id1064769019

#68Seems like this was made by Craig Kaplan ( https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/ ). Had him for graphics while at school there, and he was a fantastic professor
His work on aperiodic monotiles has been in the news very recently. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36119920
Just the other day he posted about how they were able to modify the one member of the family identified in their paper which is not an aperiodic monotile into one that tiles without reflections.

#69Very cool. Wish there was a bit more wiggle room ("easy" mode) to give to younger kids to play with

iOS has been "swipe up to unlock" for some time now, as well as Android vendors had "slide to unlock" lockscreens earlier.
