ScillyScope

My entry for GitHub's Game Off 2025

How good is your ear? Can you hear a note and know which frequency it is? What if I help you out by showing it to you on an oscilloscope?

Ok, so assigning the letters of the alphabet to a keyboard and using it to encode the words of a haiku doesn't make for the most melodious tune, but I challenge you to listen carefully and reproduce the notes of each word to uncover my silly poem about WAVES.

How to play

Once you've listened to the whole haiku, select one hidden word at a time. Use the keyboard to record the same notes you hear (don't worry, timing doesn't matter, just find the right frequencies.) Once you think you have the correct word spelled out, press play to see if you're right. You pick which word to decode next and you don't have to do them in order, so start with the easy/shorter ones first!

About

I created this game solo, using only html, css, and javascript, with the help of Copilot to "speed up the process" (if you know you know.) This is the first time I've used the Web Audio API, and am finding that it's not very consistent across browsers, so if you leave any comments about the sound (good or bad) please let me know which browser and platform you're using.
