Resistance to the military has come in many forms, including the development of an app-based game.
In the game, players take on troops in scenes the developer says are similar to real lifeWhen soldiers in Myanmar arrested Ko Toot's friend and his pregnant wife after the February 2021 coup, he became so angry he decided to join efforts to remove the military from power - by using his IT skills.
He didn't know what had happened to them. The BBC only recently established the woman was released within a day, but the man was held for about a year and a half. So Ko Toot, who works as an IT professional, decided he had to be part of the movement to oust the "cruel and dangerous" military - and began working on his game.
Ko Toot's aim was to raise funds for arms and humanitarian aid for the anti-military forces known as People's Defence Forces , as well as increase awareness about the situation in the country. Players take the role of PDF soldiers fighting against military troops, and work through missions similar to real ones in Myanmar.
