Hit your laptop. It yells back.

SpankLaptop is a Rust rewrite (for windows and linux ofc) inspired by:

https://github.com/taigrr/spank!

Instead of using an accelerometer (which is present in MacOS), this version detects impacts through microphone vibration and plays a random sound in response.

Making this thing took me like 12-13 hours, with a lot of trial and testing, so I hope you enjoy using this and give me proper feedback as well :D

• Detects impacts using microphone input
• Plays a random sound from a selected sound pack
• Multiple built in modes
• Custom folder support for sound packs
• Adjustable sensitivity and cooldown

Install from crates.io:

cargo install SpankLaptop

Then run:

spanklaptop

To update later:

cargo install SpankLaptop --force

spanklaptop

spanklaptop --mode sexy
spanklaptop --mode halo

Selects the sound pack used when an impact is detected.

Examples:

spanklaptop --mode pain
spanklaptop --mode sexy
spanklaptop --mode halo

You can also point to a custom directory:

spanklaptop --mode ./sounds/custom

Sets the minimum amplitude required to trigger a sound.

Higher values make the detector less sensitive.

spanklaptop --min-amplitude 0.6

Minimum time between triggers in milliseconds.

spanklaptop --cooldown 600

Audio files are loaded from a folder corresponding to the selected mode.

Example structure:

audio/
  pain/
    sound1.wav
    sound2.wav
  sexy/
    sound1.mp3
  halo/
    sound1.wav

Supported formats depend on rodio and typically include:

• WAV
• MP3
• OGG
