Addictive and sticky HTML5 experiment

[valjavec]

They also have a Flash version - http://spielzeugz.de/lab/sticky-thing/flash/

While there is no way to run Flash on iOS devices, accelerometer works only with iOS.

I belive that's what Steve was talking about in his Thought on Flash where he concludes:

"Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short."

Kudos to html5 and guys creating this experiment. It's awesome!

That's silly, had Steve Jobs wanted Flash to work on iOS it would work fine on iOS. Of course it doesn't work.

Power consumption in HTML5 is still higher than equivalent Flash, touch is a non-issue but standards is where HTML5 shines. I believe many times technologists focus too much on the platform rather than delivering a product. There's still a place for Flash and HTML5 is getting better (but is hindered by fragmented browser support).

Flash version has much better performance.

Hopefully it's Saturday. I've played with this for too long before coming back to comment.

It actually took me a good minute to realize it made use of the accelerometer.

[trocker]

no denying. its addictive alright.

Pinch to resize it, too. This is amazing. It's working flawlessly in mobile Safari (iOS 5). Well done.

On Mobile Safari it actually works with the accelerometer! You can toss it around by shaking your device

[jeromeparadis]

Works well on my iOS 4 iPas too.thanks for the risizing tip! It's awesome.

Really cool experiment. I'd love to see a breakdown and explanation of the code. It would be interesting to hear how you went about creating this. Thanks.

This officially entertained my 3 year old. I just put the browser on full screen and she had a blast. :)

I think it's ideal to learn my 14 month old boy the concept of the mouse/screen.

If all you see is a blank page, enable cookies and reload.

Came here to say how nice it is that I can click through a link (for once) and not have it go blank thanks to IE9. It's a rare occurance, but nice change to be sure.

I'm surprised at how well it worked on my first gen iPad!

Buy the real sticky thingy, then you can even eat it.

[Omnipresent]

this is excellent! care to share code?

[joejohnson]

Wow, that's very impressive.

[funvit]

wow

This requires JS; could you amend the title to note that?

[artursapek]

I think people assume fun HTML5 HN links are probably going to use Javascript
