Here’s a little time waster for you 
You get one click of the mouse which puts a circular “sponge” on the playing field.
When a ball hits a sponge you get a point and the ball is replaced by a new sponge.
The sponges disappear after a short while.
When the last sponge has disappeared, the round is over.
If you match or exceed the target it increases by 5 for the next round, else you can repeat the failed round again.
There are always 5 more balls than the target on the screen.
No optimisation yet (things slow down randomly!), but I needed to get past writers block!

(edit) - this is based on a JS game I saw somewhere, though I can’t remember where. I’ll credit them when I can remember!

And here’s the code.
A masterclass in coding/game design it is most certainly not!

This was a writer’s block creation whilst trying to decide on how best to crunch some serious telecoms data (took about 2 hours)

Oh, dearie me. Are you trying to ensure that none of your feature requests get implemented because we’re too busy clicking brightly coloured dots? 
(I find it transforms from challenging to soothing after the first couple of hundred…it would probably be harder if the ball velocities could start off negative - right now they’re always moving down and to the right…)

A couple hundred?
Soothing?
Go back to work Meredydd!

It’s nearly impossible now!
Maybe I am a person who needs immediate gratification - but I liked the easier earlier version!!
Somehow I seem to stop playing after 4 games in the newer, more difficult version. In the older version I could go on, and on, and on, …
Thank you for sharing - it has been a great distraction.
Very nice- it is more fun than one would expect for such a simple interface.

Wait you did it in canvas?
At first I thought you meant it was all JS- this is just canvas. Impressive way to use it for a pretty dynamic application.
Yeah, all canvas & python
The original game was in JS (still cannot remember where I saw it).
