Katamari Hack For Chrome (and Compatible Browsers)

Posted by Soulskill on from the on-a-roll dept.

skaet writes "Using CSS3 transforms and HTML5 canvas, the Katamari Hack for Google Chrome (and other compatible browsers) allows you to turn any website into a game of Katamari Damacy! The script was created by Alex Leone, David Nufer, and David Truong, and won the 2011 Yahoo HackU contest at University of Washington."

    A warning needs to be attached to this game. Katamari is a dangerous game to play.

    First you'll start, possibly with some friends, possibly high, rolling things up, and you'll be having a good time.

    Then you'll be consumed with rolling things up, accurately guessing what size objects you can roll up, and developing strategies on how to gain size more effectively.

    Eventually you'll get what we like to call "Katamari Eyes". This is when in real life, you start to see regular objects in groups, which could be good for rolling up, or areas you'll want to stay away from as there isn't enough growth potential. It's a well known effect.

    This destroys relationships, but given you're reading this, I don't think that's a problem you'll have.

    You've been warned!

      Not to mention the risk of the song coming on the radio and then you slam your car into a mailbox...

    So according to the posters here, it works in Safari (including on iPhone), IE9, Firefox 4 and Opera. In what way is this something for "Chrome and compatible browsers"?

    Let's not go down the old road when people said "Works best in Internet Explorer" only because they did not test anything else.
