@heatherduns Good question! I'd say it's a bit of magic, but also a knowledge of writing counter-melodies (which happens more in instrumental lines that complement a main melody). It's like filling in the gaps of a puzzle. But likely they have the same chords in mind and go from there.

@PattisonKathryn Thanks! You too!

@PattisonKathryn It was actually the first time I've seen a YouTuber play something I've coded, which was really cool! Thanks for your enthusiasm and patience with my somewhat buggy game!

Just stumbled across @PattisonKathryn's playthrough of Pixels at an Exhibition https://t.co/pVNBcUCcS9 Awesome! Thanks for playing and sharing it, Kathryn!
