A few months ago, while starting my daily activities I got hooked by an amazing Google’s Doodle. A very simple game to play, celebrating a cricket tournament somewhere, on which I spent more time than expected.
Of course, the game was fun, but what I found on developer tools just after the first round was beyond:
<canvas width=”1080" height=”608" tabindex=”0"></canvas>
It was not the first time I saw this tag, but it was the first time I was actually thinking about possible usages for it. Now, years later, I’m going to implement the idea I had that day, revisiting a space shooter game that I implemented at some point during college.
