Show HN: Counting Tap Toy

31 pointsby memalign5 months ago
Hi HN! This is a project I made for my 3-year-old who always skips “14” when counting.<p>In Counting Tap Toy, you can tap to count various aquatic creatures. The count is displayed and announced. My hope is that seeing and hearing the numbers will reinforce 14’s existence.<p>I find tapping all the fish while listening to the songs and popping sound effects to be pretty relaxing too.<p>Technical details: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memalign.github.io&#x2F;p&#x2F;counting.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memalign.github.io&#x2F;p&#x2F;counting.html</a><p>This is the fourth “Tap Toy”, joining:<p>- Slice: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memalign.github.io&#x2F;m&#x2F;slice&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memalign.github.io&#x2F;m&#x2F;slice&#x2F;index.html</a><p>- Fireworks: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memalign.github.io&#x2F;m&#x2F;fireworks&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memalign.github.io&#x2F;m&#x2F;fireworks&#x2F;index.html</a><p>- Original: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memalign.github.io&#x2F;m&#x2F;taptoy&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memalign.github.io&#x2F;m&#x2F;taptoy&#x2F;index.html</a>

Tried fireworks. Looks awesome for my 3.5 year old (he is playing Super Mario Bros snes version on TV these days so not sure but will try).<p>It&#x27;s very choppy on phone when bursting, animation looks awesome but need some optimisation I guess.

Is it supposed to have a off by one error? I&#x27;m left with an extra fish. Maybe I clicked too fast or managed to get a twofer.

This is fantastic and just the kind of thing my nephew enjoys! Thank you for sharing. :)

Consider adding a configurable setting that skips &quot;14&quot; when counting in order to memorialize the cited reason for your effort. It might also help others empathize with your child. :)

count speech is delayed when you click too quickly. I got to 28 while voice was still saying 19. You should not wait for the sample to finish, just cut it off and start the new one
