ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

MIDI Maze

Okay kiddo, do you know what music is? It's when people make sounds with instruments like drums, guitars, and pianos. But did you know that these sounds can also be made on a computer?

One way to do that is with something called Midi. Midi is a special language that computers use to talk to musical instruments. It tells the instrument which notes to play, how long to play them for, and how loud the sound should be.

Now, imagine you have a bunch of computers, each with a different instrument sound, all connected together with a cable. This is called a Midi network. And when you play notes on one computer, the sound comes out of a different computer's speakers, just like playing music with your friends!

That's where Midi Maze comes in. It's a fun game that lets you use your Midi network to play with your friends. You control a little character on the screen and try to shoot the other characters using your computer keyboard. But the catch is that you can only see your own character - you have to listen to the sound cues to know where your friends are so you can shoot them!

So Midi Maze is a game that lets you play with your friends using special music language called Midi, and you have to listen to sounds to play. It's like having a big musical playground with your friends!
