I was curious about making retro gaming sounds using Sonic Pi. A couple of months and a lot of Googling later, here's the original Mario Bros theme as it was heard on the NES console.
I'm (just about) old enough to remember rushing home from school to play this game at Philip Boucher's house, sitting cross-legged in front of the TV till my feet got pins and needles. Working out how to recreate it for Sonic Pi was a lot of fun!

A simple watchdog for long running processes which may stall for some reason or | |
another. | |
If the main thread hasn't logged progress (by updating | |
``self.last_progress_time``) in WATCHDOG_HARD_KILL_TIMEOUT, the watchdog | |
thread will log an error containing the stack trace of all currently running | |
threads then use ``kill -9`` to kill the main process. | |
Assumes that a process monitor like supervisor or systemd will then restart |
