  • Just intonation keyboard – play music without knowing music2023 · ad8e.pages.dev · ▲331

    This is a keyboard in just intonation. It can play the notes a piano can. The big difference from a piano is that all the notes become consonant.

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong.

Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
