I feel like, rather than having no sound at all, the ability to output a PC-speaker-like beep (i.e. turn on/off a fixed-frequency, fixed-amplitude square wave channel) might be nice. No parameters because otherwise you might get distracted trying to trick it into sounding vaguely musical ;)

I’ve also always wanted to see something like this but with emoji for the “graphics.” (Emoji are, after all, the standard graphics resource pack of our era—like DOS box-drawing characters were for the 80s.) Maybe stick them as labels on a grid of buttons, resulting in a similar look to Chip’s Challenge.

That would defeat the purpose of being minimalist, don't you think?
