...or other functional audio input device If the default device does not work, you may need to change the input device with V before attempting to play.
Phreak36 is a game about phreaking, and getting long-distance telephone calls for free. The goal is to produce a sustained tone at 2600 Hz. The keypad does not work, sorry. :(
CONTROLS: v = Change input device z/page down = Lower goal frequency x/page up = Raise goal frequency
Most people (almost everyone) will be unlikely to hit 2600 Hz. Try lowering the goal to ~1600 for a comfortable whistle.
nerds: If you happen to try a blue box or similar out on this, let me know the results (I don't expect it to be good). I understand this is not an authentic representation.
I planned to have a moodier setting, with drizzling rain, an actual background, functioning phone numbers, and maybe some music... but between ambition and excessive relaxation that didn't happen. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for playing!
Good idea ! I didn't have any problems with the microphone. I seemed to be very dumb while playing your game :'). Graphics are simple and effective. I like the concept of using our voice in a game. This was surely an awesome challenge for you. It was impossible for me to produce a sustained tone at 2600 Hz, I lower the goal to 1600 as you adviced ;) Keep creating games !
Great idea! After a bit of practice I got to 2600. I woke up my wife trying to get to 4khz, but never got it to be stable. One feature it definitely needs a way to get restart after you get the free call.

Is there anything else after that?
So...
beep -f 2600
