Looking forward to this change! I am constantly switching to the wrong piece by clicking on the piece I want when it's already selected.
Another thing that would help me is if it showed a ghosted image of where the piece will be before I place it (like Starcraft, Age of Empires, and a million other games do). If you had that, I would never place the wrong piece accidentally, or accidentally in the wrong place.
Based on these recommendations I tried it out. Content seems fine but in 2023 it’s hard to escape the connection between Sam Harris and so-called “effective altruism” which soured the experience in for me.
I like and recommend Smiling Mind from a company out of Australia. It feels like what would happen if PBS released a version of Waking Up.
I rotated the inner ring to capture the sense that (for example) Amin shares two notes with Cmaj and 2 notes with Fmaj, so belongs between them.
You can drag the chord gear, click it for a kind of awful synth-piano sound that I had a lot of fun making, switch modes, etc. I actually originally made this in wood/acrylic:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lwIS-1sPNyIpYM1nCcFkU9Iq...
but I like how the online version renames the notes sensibly.)
Mostly I was just trying to explore music theory concepts, and have a few other toys at https://pine.fm/music
(also the code is gross; I've been a manager for almost a decade now and am rusty; you've been warned, lol)
Wow, I love the way you incorporated the seventh degree - instead of an extra inner ring, just converting that one to show a diminished chord. The extra rotation of the inner circle is really clever too. That is awesome, thanks for sharing!
Supposedly that effect continues, the first third of life feels longer than the last two subjectively (at least I've heard that claimed). Wouldn't surprise me if it's a mixture of processing speed slowing down making things feel like they're moving faster and just the fact that each year is a small percentage of your life. Maybe also less variety day to day as an adult, fewer big changes.
You can test the clock speed thing and there's some evidence for it (ask different aged people to estimate when a minute has passed, stuff like that).
The watched kettle never boils. Kids are impatiently waiting to grow up, to get through their teens so they can drive cars, earn money, live freely. The average school day is a long day at the office. I recall sitting in class day-dreaming about not sitting in class.
Yeah, I’d guess prison time also feels pretty long. Children in modern culture serve a pretty long sentence (depending on how good your parents are I suppose).
I dunno if that test would really get to it. Presumably people have an updating idea of what a minute feel like, unless they stopped interacting with clocks in their teenage years.
