The most overlooked Pi Program is..

Question

Do you enjoy Sonic Pi? Got a favorite track? share it below.

I won't lie I didn't really get into Sonic Pi for some time. I looked at it a bit but never really dove into it. Lately tho I have been having a ton of fun tinkering and playing around with it.

Its one of those gems on the Pi I think gets overlooked and never really see much conversation on it. Even on their site it gets pretty dry at times.

Whats your thoughts on sonic pi? let me know below.

Actually now you mention Sonic Pi, I wonder if a modernized version of the sheet music thing would be a fun game for kids... give them a popular tune they should have heard of, but without the title, and see how it comes out when they program it : ) And see if they recognise it : ) Like a musical version of Chinese Whispers.

Another cool thing which kids would love is the Simon game (with 4 LEDs). There a version here, although it's deviated slightly from the original's four lights: http://www.makerspace-uk.co.uk/pymon-a-simon-clone-for-the-raspberry-pi/ The game needs sounds so probably Sonic Pi would be a useful for that.
