I made this demo using http://www.pixijs.com/ Something I'm really happy with is the psuedo-3d effect on the cat using a displacement map. I took the cat sprite ( http://dn.ht/picklecat/mesmercat.png ) and made a "depth map" ( http://dn.ht/picklecat/mesmercatdisplacement.jpg ) where white is closest and black is furthest. This information is used to determine how far to move the underlying pixels. It's enough to give…
Is the cat supposed to shoot lasers? Feels like it should but does not for me. Hitting the mouse and space, as well as other keys, doesn't do anything.
Like, I get there's a source GIF that inspired it, and lazoring pickles with a cat has that sort of pseudo randomness like 'purple monkey dishwasher'. But I still think it's strange that it stands out as an omission over, say, talking wrenches. (I think the awestruck cat is fine just how it is; just flummoxed over how legitimate your quip was.)

It's odd that I can say straight-faced "of course you would expect lasers to shoot from that cat's eyes and destroy the pickle," but that I can't describe why that assumption is so obvious.
@dhotson This is not rendering for me in Chrome on OSX. Is this a known issue?
