Welcome to week 42 of the Hippie Dabble Digest. This week’s just for fun link is a classic. I remember my daughter being addicted to this simple game when she was younger. It’s called line rider. If you’re not familiar with line rider, the basic concept is to draw various lines that a little person rides on. Depending on how you draw your lines, the little person can fall, jump, crash, get stuck, etc. The goal is to see if you can get the little person all the way to the end of your lines or to see how long/far you can keep the little person riding. You can pause, redraw, add, play, etc. (Hint: your person needs to build up momentum to go up hill.) Give it a try here: https://www.linerider.com/.
