Aww, firefox makes the page scroll with arrow keys :( I'm not sure if I would override that though, maybe have alternate controls like "wasd" or something similar. P.S. I looked at the code for the cat and I really like it. Nice and simple.

Thank you! I made a library out of it ( http://yobert.github.io/catify/ ) if you want to add it to something of yours!

That's so cute!!!!! I think I'll add it to my personal site, ty :D

What browser are you using? In my machine it's fine in Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

The black page shows in the latest Firefox available in Debian stable, which is 78.14.0esr.

Works in Firefox 92 on Ubuntu 21.04 for me. Took a while to load though.

I wish Apple phones wouldn’t constantly crash when loading WebGL graphics libraries. I’m working in BabylonJS right now, and not only will the page crash on iOS Safari, but there’s no way to debug it. It (frustratingly) runs fine inside of the iPhone Simulator on MacOS, which is the only way I’ve been able to access devtools or crash logs. And I’ve successfully rendered BabylonJS on iOS in the past, so I know it’s no…

If you have an iPhone, you can physically connect it to your computer and inspect its elements through Safari's DevTools. It's a little unintuitive, but I wrote a walkthrough on how to set it up here (see the second section) [0].

I don't know why they make this so hard, ha!

Man, I am glad they built this instead of them saying "Ah, load times are slow, scrap that idea." like it seems like a lot of people in this thread would do. Very very cool.

I put an interactive cat on my resume and I'm pretty sure it literally got me the job. ( https://pkunk.org/resume/ ) A little fun goes a long way!

Reminds me of Neko, the Mac/Windows desktop toy from the early 90s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neko_(software)

There is an Android Easter Egg game featuring this for those that don't know.
