We all know that somebody has to run Doom in favicon now...

Now put 4D Miner in a favicon, that would work great!

This is the kind of programming videos we need in this world, I subbed.

Simple and straight to the point. No padding, no skits, just your process. Nice

I never knew the favicon is possible to be dynamically modified and even play something in it! 😨

This was a pretty interesting video, I never knew the tab icons were called favicons, the more you know!

“And there are only 2 colours. The dinosaur, and the cacti” Ah yes my 2 favourite colours

How are you so good at explaining such complicated concepts in a way anyone can explain

Another possibility that I've thought of for a while now: Using the Media Keys (Pause/Play/Next/Prev) to control through an RPG. If you hear monster sounds, press Prev (go back) on your headset, and wait until the monster is gone. Something like that. That way you have 4 inputs to an audio-only game

This is so hilarious! I noticed here and there that you can actually animate the favicon but never dreamed of interacting with it! Awesome subbed and excited for new videos :)

This deserves more attention! I’ve never seen that before!

this is a really cool and unique idea and it's awesome!

Using a canvas as a favicon, clever! Thanks for the inspiration. 👍😀

i made something similar to the no internet dinosaur game using only the text in the tab name when i realized it could be updated every frame, but i didn't know the tab icon could be updated dynamically as well!

love the dinosaur sprite. this is a great video

Ha you're a legend. I've been developing with JavaScript for 11 years, and never once thought about animating the favicon

this is awesome, just subscribed!

Wow, how do you come up with so many interesting ideas? Nice video!

Thanks for having it up on github, really neat project!

You could also use the title bar to display the approaching obstacle ;)

This could be an awesome easter egg!

this was pretty cool to see, only complaint about it is that it is really slow. this is probably because constantly rendering an image for every frame is pretty hard pressuring especially while it also has to read this and interpret index. it is playable doe. HI: 2013

Now that's gaming on a whole other level

Love this project, just reached 900 points.

Breakout. I feel like I might make breakout in this form/format. Nice. Neat

favicon as DOM is so cool

Could also modify the tab text to add more “resolution” perhaps.

man you have the coolest ideas

this is awesome!

Part of me wants to make a favicon Tomagotchi that reacts to the user's interactions with the actual website... but then I'm like, "nah, no one would care about that for more than a minute" 😂

Holy shit... i am sold

could be faster if the dino was just a 2x3 rectangle, allowing for a slower reaction time, and more space for cacti

hey that's so cool!

amazing!

Mom: Son why are you having head so close to monitor ? Me: i playing a game

wait were you looking up sfml stuff? I saw std:: and got exited

Next: Playing a Warzone tournament on a Chrome tab icon

I think it would be cool to make a game like Lidar but sound based, where you are blind, and need to figure out where you are with sound alone, it could be a horror game that uses paychologicsl horror, and the game could be called xenophobia Oh and theres no jumpcares or anything, its literally just you imagining stuff (hence the name xenophobia, which means fear of the unknown) and there are 2 endings, one is you just dont even try, and end up dying of heart attack, and another ending is that you figure out where you are and it just turns out your in ur house after your dad carried you in from the hospital (and the grand reveal is that we are just a kid who is overly paranoid)

Cool video! I have subscribed

This is just a more extreme version of those icon games Buttons made once upon a time

I have another idea do what that favicon editor website thingy does but with a game just make it display the game and render it in an 16x16 image and display that as the favicon

im wondering if you could use the page's title to also display cacti as they approach the dino for example: {icon} ___Y____YY______

But can the Tab Icon run Doom?

this reminds me of a few games you could play in the thumbnails in nitrome

"it only has 2 colors, the dinosaur and the cacti"

I swear someone's gonna do Bad Apple in Favicon someday

Why is this suddenly getting recommended to so many people after 3 years??

impressive.

Option to make the webpage a Google search clone to play at work/school.

You could make a page that looks like schoolwork but is actually a game in the tab icon

Lol you forgot the bird dude

Could you make a wider play area by making a game that’s played across multiple pinned tabs?

1:31 ah yes, my favourite colour, dinosaur

on google sites its called an emoticon

you forgot the damn birds

That’s already been done and I was gonna do that before even seeing this video pls make 2048 like that

How do you start playing the original defender of the favicon?

i never knew that favicon has a name, nor THAT IT CAN BE MODIFIED

2:05 the memories

1:32 Ah yes, dinosaurs and cactus’s are colors now

What happened to that text-based terraria you mentioned?

Can you make an URL animation/game using the history.replaceState ?

two words: favicon demoscene

duuude, i feel that "most of the time was spent displaying the digits" so hard. tell me about it lmaooo

1D would worked great in a favicon lol

make a horror game in the favicon plz

this reminds me of some nitrome games

If somebody makes a Minecraft in a favicon I'll be surprised

Can you run doom on a favicon?

Video Idea : Making Minecraft in a Tab Icon!

You can use the name of the website to make the game bigger

i kinda want to see a game worked into the url

I think we have the same keyboard Now make the Dino game run on Chroma

This is so stupid which makes it incredibly fun xD

the "i can see the pixels" game

You forgot the bird but I don’t actually see how you’d add it

I got a flying gorilla ad

But can you run Doom in the favicon

How long before someone puts ads in a favicon

Add the deployed application link to the readme mayn

Good

now do pong in a favicon, played with ws/uj

Year 2100 I made a game for a favicon in a mobile phone connected to a toaster

Btw the FAVICON games are for small spiders

Cool

You forgot to include the pterodactyls you need to duck under.

now make bad apple in favicon

Can we make 2048 game on favicon

Now make a game on mouse cursor.

3:16 Which browser is that? I don't see that in my firefox
