The obvious answers are the games we endlessly replayed historically: Mario Kart, Goldeneye (VS mode), Halo (VS), Smash Bros.

If you specifically want ones on PC, I’d suggest Starcraft, Age of Empires, and probably Counter Strike (I wasn’t into that one, but it had a huge following).

Many board games fit the bill as well. Codenames (physical or online at horsepaste.com) comes to mind, and another commenter also mentioned chess.

Basically any games that were made before endlessly grinding became a thing (yep, that’s only been a thing for a decade or two).

Ooh, or my other trope: be a cleric with heavy armor and a shield. On your first turn in combat, walk out in front of everyone, cast Shield of Faith, and take the Dodge action. As a free action, yell “come at me, fucknuts!” If you can pick up the Shield spell, you’re mostly invulnerable, and it’s pretty much viable at level 1.

My personal favorite aspect with respect to combat is, “I look around, what objects and furniture are in the room?” Then proceed to use that stuff in combat. Long rug? I’ll attempt to trip the opponent by pulling it up. Chandelier? Yeah I’ll throw a hand axe and try to break that chain. Some DMs thrive off of it, some are put off.

For an extra charge, the employee will give you the authentic smell by wiping their ass with one of the slices of bread.

If you can find another pen of the same type, you could see whether it’s consistent. My guess is that the spring “stuck” in that spot when they pulled/set it.

If not, it could be a noise thing.

I did the front-end program on freecodecamp.org a bunch of years ago, it was decent. The challenging part about finding what you’re looking for is that Javascript is used in both the front and back ends (and in a number of other places). Courses in JS will usually focus on backend (node.js is common), but it sounds like you’re looking for a basic front-end course.

Also note that “integrating front end with back end” is complicated and depends largely on the backend itself. In the free code camp course, I did some calls to APIs from the frontend, which I think is what you’re asking.

In any case, check out the Full Stack course on freecodecamp.org (specifically what you’re asking about is covered in the “DOM Manipulation and Events” section).

What kind of gameplay do you have in mind? I’m guessing a puzzle-type game (like a room escape), but you could honestly do a number of different things (tower defense? Platformer?).

I think the answer to your original question largely depends on this. Did you have anything else in mind about the experience?

“Wow, it must have taken all three of your brain cells to come up with that.”

There’s one other advantage to wireless here: a bionic prosthetic is moving a lot, and that’s not great for wire harnesses or connectors. Going wireless potentially allows for greater range of movement (or at least removes the engineering challenge of making it durable long term).

Damn, if she has any tech-savvy siblings, this would introduce a whole new level of “why are you hitting yourself”

“Seriously guys, I’m a doctor! I have a PhD!”

“Sure buddy, what was your dissertation about again?”

“Uh… the beneficial effects of marine mammal urine on–”

“Whale piss! Enjoy your pee-hD, weirdo.”

I’m not an expert, but any time I’ve needed to do this, I set up my own router as a client to the parent router, and I set my router (client) as the DMZ in the parent router. Effectively you end up with two routers that are both (more or less) connected directly to the internet, without the two networks messing with each other. It’s also minimally invasive to the parent router (even old stock firmware has always had a DMZ option).

The tricky part then is using the wireless connection as your “WAN port,” rather than a physical one. In which case, as long as you can install OpenWRT on it, you should be fine.

Haha nope

Oh! And if she’s into puzzles, look at Islands of Insight. First person with puzzle solving as the main mechanic, but also some exploration and a bit of mystery to it.

I’d consider what kind of game she finds fun and compelling–that’s more likely to engage her to become familiar with the mouse/keyboard combo.

That being said, Minecraft on peaceful mode would fit and is generally approachable. Stardew Valley is pretty relaxed as well, though I don’t remember whether it uses WASD specifically.
