This is really cool 🙂  
Maybe we can find a place somewhere in the docs or [makie.org](http://makie.org)!

I think so too. If Makie’s documentation had such a place, this could be included as an interesting example 😉

Seriously—what would be the best way to get this mini-game included as an official Makie example in the documentation?  
The reason is simple: as a single-file mini-game in my personal repo, it’s a bit too niche and won’t attract much attention. It would be better to host it under the organization so it can be maintained and managed over the long term.

I know what’s missing. Some cool 8-bit background music: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EcgruWlXnQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EcgruWlXnQ)

And maybe some sound effects. 😃

This might actually fit well on [Beautiful Makie](https://beautiful.makie.org/dev/)?
