Reply to comment by TalosBeWithYou in TIL about anti ninja floors in Japan. They were purposefully made to squeak as to alert people of intruders. by tpb01

Best method would be to set the notes like piano keys, with each row of ninja tiles being a different octave. Larger rooms will have less accuracy (with only 12 notes in an octave restricting the number of tiles per row) but if you know the piano it'll be easier to pull off.

So dancing on such a floor would create some fusion jazz number

When a ninja walk in with an itty bitty waste and a round thing in your face, your floor squeaks.

Saw your other post and was like "yeah! What's up with that?!" Then saw the response and thought "I'm an idiot, duh....." (I've been involved with music since I was old enough to sing, so like 23 years, and somehow that escaped me, but I also just woke up and haven't had coffee yet)
