3 years ago Well, with the addition of a NES emulator in 1.3.0 this issue can be closed. There's even a homebrew Snake game that works just fine: https://github.com/sebastiandine/openNES-Snake/releases/tag/v1.0

FastTracker 2 had a unique feature that I never seen in any other tracker, it included a snake like game called "nibbles":
Even though it doesn't have anything to do with the actual creation of music, it was a great feature. Every time I got stuck on a song I started playing nibbles with the track playing in the background. Often by moving away from actively trying to create music and switching to passively listening I got unstuck and was able to continue the track.
Now I could somewhat achieve the same goal with the Tacker by having it play the song and me picking up my phone and play a game, but that would mean that I would put the Tracker aside and start holding a new device. By having a game in the Tracker I would not have to switch and be able to continue tracking as soon as I felt a creative urge again.
I understand that there are more pressing issues with the Tracker, but I hope you will seriously consider this feature request.
