I love it, OP. Really creative take on the original game and this is a totally unique use of windows as an input. It's smart on many levels.

I wonder if this game could be used as a benchmark for alternating attention (switching between tasks.) People with disorders like ADHD and others that effect executive function are supposed to have difficulty with this. So it would be interesting to see if ones score increased off medication vs on medication. Or even if a healthy person saw an increase with stimulants.

Psychologists love games like this because it lets them study isolated aspects of cognition in a standardized way. It's honestly a cool project.

Two levels. ;-)
