Play Tetris in a favicon

[fosk]

To play the game, move your mouse over the colored "F" image on the right and click "Play".

What colored "F" image?

The 'Favris' logo?

For those who are interested there is also the classic arcade game Defender in a favicon: http://www.p01.org/releases/DEFENDER_of_the_favicon/

Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should.

(Not the Tetris - scriptability of the Favicon.)

[kijin]

Scriptable favicons can be useful and unobtrusive when used judiciously. For example, adding a small "1" in a red circle when a new message arrives. Sure, you could just replace the favicon with another image that has the number hard-coded into it, but that's a bit clunky and you'd need to prepare several different images.

Nobody in office knows you are playing.

Clever.

The entry point is very difficult to find, though.

[ravejk]

I agree. This is really awesome but the play button should be effortlessly easy to find.

That took me a second to figure out how to rotate pieces. After leaving it alone a couple of times I've decided that it creates some pretty interesting patterns. It's not nearly as creative, but it would be neat if eventually favicons could be a little more useful and perhaps display something unique to the page that you're on.

I had absolutely no clue that you could use canvas to draw the favicon. That's pretty cool.

And that was the end of my eyesite :-) But seriously, that's pretty amazing - I can think of a lot of useful ideas for this. Like a Facebook status update, or telling you that mail has been delivered.

thanks!

Is this a remake of something else? I'm sure I've seen a Tetris in a favicon before, many years ago.

I still applaud the effort though. It's well executed.

[hagyma]

hmm... let me know if you find it. we thought it was our idea... thanks!

[alexwolfe]

Very creative. The playing area is obviously a little small but the idea behind this is really interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[hagyma]

and we already double sized the blocks... now it's basically 8x8... no zoom was efficient when an L block was taking up only 4 pixels... :)

Not working in my Safari. Had to open it in fire fox.

[hagyma]

chrome is best... we didn't dig too deep why safari doesn't play it well.

[aniketpant]

This is damn insane. Cool stuff.
