Classical music has significantly influenced video game soundtracks, with examples including Philippe Vachey’s incorporation of Johann Strauss and Saint-Saëns, and games like Catherine and Grand Theft Auto 3 featuring classical pieces. The rhythm game Pump it Up Rise includes classical remixes, a hallmark of the series since 1999, with remixes by BanYa such as Take The Devil and Turkey March. BanYa's adaptations, like Winter and Beethoven Virus, showcase a blend of classical and modern elements. Other rhythm games, including Audition Online and Taiko no Tatsujin, also feature classical music. The use of classical compositions in games is partly due to their emotional resonance and copyright advantages, as works by composers like Beethoven and Mozart are in the public domain.

Mashina features an egg-shaped robot that digs holes to gather minerals, drawing gameplay comparisons to Steamworld Dig. Players navigate a 2D mine, managing resources in a puzzle-like inventory while completing quests for upgrades. The game employs a lo-fi aesthetic and stop-motion animation, creating a unique experience despite some gameplay challenges, such as a clumsy building system and repetitive elements in the later stages. The animation style adds a human touch, and the game evokes a sense of tranquility through its atmosphere and sound design.

Jack Dorsey introduced a test version of a decentralized messaging application called Bitchat, designed for private conversations through end-to-end encryption. The app enables ephemeral, encrypted communication without relying on internet infrastructure, making it resilient to network outages and censorship. Bitchat operates using Bluetooth to facilitate communication within a range of approximately 300 meters and does not require users to provide phone numbers or email addresses. Instead, users create their own handles for identification. The app automatically detects nearby users, allowing them to connect through chatrooms. Bitchat is intended for use in scenarios lacking internet access, such as concerts, airplanes, or during disaster response efforts.

Benjamin Aster has created a 3D Minecraft clone using only CSS and HTML, without any JavaScript. The project consists of approximately 40,000 lines of HTML and fewer than 500 lines of CSS. Each block in the 9x9x9 world is represented by a combination of HTML elements, with CSS managing the display based on user interactions. Users can click on blocks to change their types, which alters the visible labels. The 3D effect is achieved through CSS animations that can be controlled by the user. The complete code is available on GitHub.
