Play Lunar Lander in a Windows copy dialog box #Gaming #Windows
It’s one of the most pressing issues of our times: You need to download a huge file from the other side of the world to continue your work. You literally can’t do anything but wait.
Now, thanks to this project, you can play a game of lunar lander while you wait.
Unlike the lunar lander from the olden times, this one is not limited to visiting just the moon, here are some other worlds you can visit:
Lush green forest: The default world you visit. Just copy any file to reach this world.
Scorching hot desert: Just press pause on your copy operation to visit this world.
Frozen ice planet: You can visit this world by enabling high contrast mode in Windows.
Nuclear wasteland: By combining pause and high contrast mode from above you can unlock this nightmarish world.
It needs at least Windows 10 for handling dpi scaling correctly. It’s only been tested on Windows 10 21H2 so far. Windows 11 is untested.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
