[Noisebridge-discuss] Good puzzles for a web based morning wakeup alarm disarm system?

[Brian Klug]

I really like this concept.  Cool idea.

>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.

a) Must beat Super Mario Brothers World 1-1 (or OSS equiv), or
b) Must enter the contra-code (up up down down ..), or
c) Must complete 3 lines of a Tetris clone (of course, you need to have your
computer play TETRIS MUSIC for this one)

Anyway neat idea.

PS: For all reading this thread, FYI, you now have the Tetris song stuck in
your head.
