i made an archery game that uses your charging cable as the controller

sort of a spiritual successor to foldy bird, i wanted to make a game people without a folding phone could play too

i was inspired by defend your castle and bowmaster prelude (although my game is very basic)

@rebane2001 That's terrible I love it

@rebane2001 the fact that the cable looks damaged makes me think there was a lot of testing while developing ^^

@rebane2001@infosec.exchange this is exactly the kind of thing i want to see on my tl :3

@rebane2001
the frayed cable is a nice touch

@rebane2001 new game controller just dropped /j

@rebane2001
lmao that's very cool, also i would be worried it would speedrun damaging the charging port

@rebane2001 this is horrible. I love it

@rebane2001 worn out charging port: the game

@rebane2001 me with a faulty cable/port that constantly gets on/off at the minimum move while charging:

@mrpickles2000 @rebane2001 I suppose that could be mitigated by using one of those magnetic adapters. It would also have the effect of making it easier to connect, so you can fire off shots faster.

Wait, would that be cheating?

@hyrulian @mrpickles2000 no that's allowed

@rebane2001 Fun idea. Now I see that a usual game controlled by mouse clicks should have the hardware last several thousand times longer (probably reduced by much higher click rate of a user not experienced with the charging port).

@rebane2001 websites should not have access to that

@rebane2001 Phone manufacturers love it.

@reiddragon is a common api: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Battery_Status_API

@hacknorris I know about it and what I'm saying is it shouldn't exist

@rebane2001 charging cycles HATE this simple trick!!

@rebane2001 Is it called "0%! MAX BATTERY CAPACITY: The Speedrun"? If not, you can use it, no need to put my name in the credits.

@rebane2001 that is amazing. we love it

(we would never play it, our cables have durability problems at the best of times and we have no desire to make that worse, but wow what a cool idea)
