Show HN: Tetris in a PDF
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris.

I’ve been using it as a therapist and coach. And it’s wonderful knowing that my personal information ... ⌘ Read more
Descent 3 Source Code
