Play Tetris in a favicon
- fosk 15y agoTo play the game, move your mouse over the colored "F" image on the right and click "Play".
- pan69 15y agoIs 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 15y agohmm... let me know if you find it. we thought it was our idea... thanks!
- alexwolfe 15y agoVery creative. The playing area is obviously a little small but the idea behind this is really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
- hagyma 15y agoand 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... :)
- kibwen 15y agoI had absolutely no clue that you could use canvas to draw the favicon. That's pretty cool.
- sneak 15y agoJust because you can, doesn't mean that you should. (Not the Tetris - scriptability of the Favicon.)
- kijin 15y agoScriptable 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.
- nknight 15y agoWhen is the last time a web feature with the potential to annoy was used only judiciously? I now expect the use of tabs to become impractical as half the websites on the planet start animating their favicons and I can't handle the distracting movement in the corner of my eye.

- aniketpant 15y agoThis is damn insane. Cool stuff.
- sad_panda 15y agoClever. The entry point is very difficult to find, though.
- ravejk 15y agoI agree. This is really awesome but the play button should be effortlessly easy to find.
- evoxed 15y agoThat 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.
- franzwong 15y agoNobody in office knows you are playing.
- hagyma 15y ago+1
- chris_wot 15y agoAnd 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.
- hagyma 15y agothanks!
- Sakes 15y agoNot working in my Safari. Had to open it in fire fox.
- hagyma 15y agochrome is best... we didn't dig too deep why safari doesn't play it well.
- hagyma 15y agohope you guys enjoy favris! get ready for an upgrade soon! :)
