816 Using Obscure External Data For Variables
by Foster Douglas on March 27, 2017
A web game that uses bizarre external data as variables for gameplay. For example:
- The number of pages visited that day on Wikipedia
- Top Google’d words or web buzz words of the day, week, month, or year
- The kb/s of your internet speed
- Your ip address
- The number of keystrokes you’ve made since the game has been opened
- Your computer’s model number
- Any other random and not-too-creepy data that a website can access about your computer or internet connection
