I had an app on my Nexus One that presented a series of puzzles that you had to solve to turn off the alarm.� There were four or five simple arithmetic problems or some simple 4 or 5 letter anagrams.� They were not hard but they still put my brain in gear enough to wake me up.� So it doesn't have to be hard and might even be better if is isn't.� <br>

I really like this concept. �Cool idea. �<div><br></div><div>From what it sounds like, you will have your�server�play music until the mobile device tells it to stop. �Maybe you could take an open-source game, and modify it / simplify it a little. �Take an existing open-source puzzle game, and make it so you just have to beat Level 1, then it sends an HTTP post ("stop the music") to your music server.�</div>

<div><br></div><div>Anyway neat idea.</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>-B</div></font><div><br></div><div>PS: For all reading this thread, FYI, you now have the Tetris song stuck in your head.</div><div><div>

I have a cronjob that runs every morning playing randomly from a bunch<br>
of music in a directory off of my server at home to speakers in my room.<br>
The music will play until a killalarm script is run which kills the process.<br>
<br>
I am looking for suggestions on some sort of puzzle or game to play in<br>
order to wake up the mind and also kill the alarm as the end goal,<br>
otherwise known as "finally getting it on with Princess Peach." Plus<br>
points if it's something one could very easily turn into a mobile web<br>
app and doesn't involve any words at all.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
