I figured out how to get infinite sized cursors ;)

  It's like a bonus level!

Hah. Thank you =). Great fun.

This is more fun than it should be - reminds me of jumping around cells in a shared google sheet
- u2077 4y ago
  I remember me and my friends played “tag” by landing on top of each other’s cells.

Funny site.

Sad little mobile users are sad. And little. And immobile.

Managed to make a massive cursor and it was broadcasted to the whole party. Had some fun hacking this with Chrome dev tools. Was simple as breakpointing in dev tools on "mousewheel", setting h.scale = 15, and then resuming. Massive cursor and massive fun. I'm sure people were wondering how I got mine so big. Considering it was clamped to 1. I've thought about injecting a non-zero number to crash the app or perhaps inject some XSS to run some fun code on everyone's machine but...I decided to be nice and not literally crash the party. ;-) All that's needed to fix this "exploit" is to properly sanitize data on the way in. Classic example of why sanitizing I/O is important! All in all-- fun app OP.

This is the Web3 we need, but not the one we deserve.

Fun site, but we need more fun colors for a proper dance party!

Crazy this is ten years old. Or at least, it was shared here once ten years ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=cursordanceparty.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=cursordanceparty.com I like these fun examples, and the creativity of the person behind it.

The band Light Light made a delightful interactive music video based on the same principle: http://donottouch.org http://donottouch.org. Sadly, it appears only a recording of it remains online.

  Amazing! It says at the end of the video "your pointer will be added to the video within the hour". I wonder if that's true.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't work properly in Firefox. Very sad to see that Chrome 101 == IE6.
- GuestHNUser 4y ago
  I have no issues on Firefox. Check your settings and plug-ins perhaps?
  - solar-ice 4y ago
    You know what, it might've just been that nobody was on it. :) The javascript console error still exists even if it works.
  - brabel 4y ago
    It crashed for me after 10 seconds in Firefox.
- brobinson 4y ago
  Works fine in LibreWolf, which is Firefox with half its features patched out for security reasons...

Nice to see the web being used properly for a change! :-)

Sick implementation; but perhaps an epilepsy warning would be apt for some of the animations.
mike_hock 4y ago
I took only a cursory glance at the website. 2 cores at 100% and a cursor that didn't move. When that hadn't changed after 10 seconds, I went back.

One similar thing I'd like to see is a global voice chat room with directional audio

  They do exist. I used https://www.gather.town/ https://www.gather.town/ during lockdown and found it worked quite well.
  - anyfactor 4y ago
    Now that is fun.

"Application Error" for me. Another website killed by HN?
- schleck8 4y ago
  No, it's hosted on Railway and most likely crossed the 5 dollar monthly free allowance, they shut down webapps then.
hrdwdmrbl 4y ago
Even though the website isn't working right now I immediately know what it is. Fun idea!

  only shipping, likely this is hosting.

    What's the point of shipping a project that can't be hosted?
