Too much trouble and I don't think my old tablet is running anything close to 11.

Maybe one of your older ones has it ...

Seriously why would an older device have the latest OS?

No, the "cat" game ...

If someone could ever combine this silly app

with this app
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/
That would be a great app.

Common wisdom would suggest you are wrong, there is a reason nobody wants engineers over a certain age.
I've done a lot of assembly programing for embedded micro controllers but for some reason windows apps seem alien to me. I suppose it's possible.

You have a base knowledge of HOW to code ....
Believe me, that's more than half the battle ...
(The mindset, planning, and execution methods)

I programed a cool calculator in VB for windows once, it worked great and was 99.9% complete when the project was lost in a hard drive crash. I suppose quite a few apps could be programmed this way. And I do still have access to Visual Basic, don't remember what version. And I'm not sure that will work with W10.

When I re-read the title of this thread I thought of a cat game I once checked out, can't remember what it was called so I did a Google search for "Pet the Pussy" Now you might think a lot of porn would popup but I added game onto the search. A game from 1956 came up called "Poor Pussy" and most of the sites wanted to talk about it but didn't want to post pictures, (https://www.buzzfeed.com/briangalindo/poor-pussy-looks-like-the-most-inappropriate-kids-games-ever), so I did an image search.

The reason is funny,

Wow ....
Gaming before technology ....

It's the image that's suggestive and funny.

Obviously gaming existed long before technology.

Mancala, anyone?

Title: Re: Android 11 Easter Egg - The Cat Catch Game Is Back
Post by: Tru on November 22, 2020, 05:34:08 AM

I wonder if Othello/Reversi qualifies as mancala?

Mancala is a game of moving beads (or stones) from one side to another ....
It's a lot harder than it seems, actually ...

I know, I studied the game for a bit tonight, it's very complicated.
Especially the 4 x 8 boards. Then there are regional differences in the rules.
But yeah, way complicated.

It's listed as "the oldest known game" and "easy to learn" ...
Yeah, fuck that!
