This is a Bootleg of the Google Chrome Easter Egg "Dinosaur_Game" (or "T-Rex Runner"). The game is an Easter egg which appears when you have no internet access. More info are available at the Dinosaur Game wiki
The dino game is extracted from the Chromium sources, rigged with the ES6 imports and bundled with webpack. This makes it very easy to build your own version of the T-Rex runner, because, for example, images and sounds will be automatically base64 encoded and all scripts are wrapped in a single file (that makes it easy then to upload it to your website or app)
Controls:
- ⬆️️ Jump / Start the game (alternative key: Space Bar)
- ⬇️ Crouch
The original T-Rex game can be started inputting into the omnibox chrome://dino (or chrome://network-error/-106) in Chromium browsers > 39.
As much as possible I made sure that you can edit the game assets and options, so you too can make your own bootleg. You can edit the assets in the './src' folder but, after doing so you have to recompile the scripts with webpack. See below how to do it:
$ git clone https://github.com/WordPress/santa-runner.git
$ cd santa-runner
$ npm installnpm run build to build the bundled version (will be outputted into ./dist folder)
npm run start to start the webpack dev server @ http://localhost:8080
