There’s a Game Hidden inside your Google Chrome, and it works on Android too!


Friends you might be familiar with the 8-bit T-Rex dinosaur that pops up in Google Chrome when you try and access a website while not connected to the internet. The T-rex had short arms and therefore lot of things were out of its reach. Chrome, like that dinosaur, too is having trouble reaching the Internet, but that little dinosaur hides an amazing secret game which you can play offline.


If you turn your WiFi off and then try to access a website using Chrome, the dinosaur will appear informing you that it was unable to connect to the internet. If you then press the spacebar on your computer and instead of spacebar tap on screen on your phones, and the little dinosaur will burst into life and begin running across the screen. The T-Rex will run and your mission is to prevent it from bumping into the saguaros.You then can use the the spacebar to make it jump over onrushing cacti of varying sizes, racking up a bigger score the longer you last. It’s a pretty basic and simple game, but it’s also really addictive.
The game is written in JavaScript and you can find the complete source code in the Chromium repository.
