Oh! Hello. This is my thing I made for usvsth3m.com. Hope y'all like it. HTML5 Webworkers made it possible - sandboxing user-submitted JavaScript so an accidental while(1) or document.write can't kill everything.

Do have a look at the source code. Oh, and try turning up your speakers and typing in the Konami code...

The sudden music/talking that started was annoying and caused me to close the tab immediately.

Thanks for immediately playing audio without asking me first. I know everybody just loves it when web pages do that.

Because of your comment, HN will have a dozen "I am so disappointed in all of you" posts in the coming week declaring how mean everyone here is, and how it is no longer like it "once was".

I hope you are happy.

Could there be a histogram at the end that shows distribution of finishing times? Or at least a leaderboard... I did pretty well [obviously ;)] but I'd like to see where my time falls in relationship to others.

I've confirmed that I can, in fact, code under pressure, but to what degree?

Other than that, fantastically fun game. My only regret is that it's a one-time game by nature, since obviously the second time around you'd simply be remembering what you did the first time instead of creating it.
