Google-Asteroids – Arcade Style Search
- jedberg 14y agoIt's not the world's first infoshooter -- I used to admin linux boxes using the Doom interface to ps. Want to kill a process? Just shoot it! Load a bigger gun to kill -9.
- breckinloggins 14y agoThis all reminds me of "It's a UNIX system! I know this!"
- danso 14y agoFun...but I'm not understanding why search results just randomly pop up and block the action? I was thinking that somehow the search results would be the "asteroids" you blow up
- richardjordan 14y agoRight - that makes it a little less fun that it otherwise might be methinks
- masswerk 14y agoThis is just what it does: You shoot a result and it will be displayed and be added to your score-list. (Please mind the parody on stepwise disclosure: Hit once to see the rank, hit twice for the originating host, and finally hit a third time to reveal the abstract and to add this item to your score. So each asteroid has a result item associated to it and you will see results in the order as you shoot them. You may click the scores' title to re-order them by rank.)
- crowhack 14y agoIf the search results just went to the side I think I would have enjoyed it more. Still fun but with constant break in the action it becomes annoying :/ Cool idea though!
