I like it, A creative idea and use of window position.
It is a bit, crash-y.

After giving the amount of friends the window flickers and just closes shortafter.
If you experiences crashes or strange behaviors, please post your specs, it will help me a lot in fixing the issues.
Also, please make sure to read the command prompt and be aware of the the separate window that gets spawned after the intro.
You can leave it in the comments or tweet me @sagzorz
Wow.. Mind Blown!
Great, unique game idea, I don't think I've seen the lens of truth concept applied to the operating system GUI directly.
On a minor note when I first launched the game I answered "ten" and received a crash. You might want to check for non-numeric input
I had to change the use of the windll to be able to run it under GNU/Linux; I've just set the screenWidth and screenHeight values by hand.
I had some trouble understanding this game, thought. As it turns out, I had the wrong width and height and then it couldn't show any of the "friends". However, with the correct resolution, even if I enter more than two friends, I only see two of them. The game tell me that I found them all if I move the two I can see around some more.
Lol, that was awesome! Way to quick, not really a game, but still very hilarious!
Nice idea, was fun to play
Win 7 64-bit. Entered '5' Bunch of windows flashed, then one window which wouldn't let me drag it without it resetting its position?
To jeffz: yup, that's exactly how it's supposed to work. Problem is the instructions are displayed on the command prompt, which may be hidden behind a window. Make sure to select the command prompt and read the instructions.
Quite a surprising idea, I like the concept, but it's very small for a game - maybe it could have been expanded on a bit?
@nickd3000 You're absolutely right, I wouldn't even call this a game, it's more like a tech demo. I came up with the idea far too late and wasn't able to finish working on it.
