Okay, nothing about astronomy in this post, but I thought this was cool anyway.
It seems the people over at Google have create a program that allows you to turn any website into a 3D marble maze. To start you need to have both Google’s Chrome browser and a smartphone to control the marble.
You then go to http://chrome.com/maze/ and enter the URL of the website, which is then converted to a 3D maze. After you install the smartphone app (at least Android 4.0 or iOS 5) and sync it up with the browser, you are all set to go.
Using your smartphone, you move the marble along the slightly inclined flat maze trying to collect blue gems. You have 300 seconds (5 minutes) and three lives to play with.
I can already see the competitiveness of web developers trying to make the hardest mazes possible. Thereby, make their sites unusable by mortals anywhere, but great gaming!
What ever happened to pinball?
