Which fun tools are there?
Fun collects playful tools with real arithmetic behind them. Daily Riff gives a new riff every day and Brutality Meter measures how brutal a riff is. Gothenburg Compliance Test checks whether a riff follows melodic death metal from Gothenburg. Riff Weather gives tonight's riff forecast and Breakdown Generator creates a chug riff with tab.

- Every riff can be played back and many can be copied as tab.
Is it serious?
The tools are jokes, but they calculate for real and explain how. You can use them for practice: play the riff you got, change a few notes and see how the score changes.
