So last night I hacked up possibly my favorite project either. The Konami Unicorn Blitz.

This sprang out of a post I saw on Boing Boing about their new keyboard shortcuts.

“Reminder! You can now jump between posts on the front door of Boing Boing by hitting J and K. It should work on most browsers. Any similar UI requests? Under consideration: L to go to the next 30 posts; and the Konami Code to trigger a unicorn invasion.“

So I implemented it, it wasn’t hard just a matter of finding all the pieces and gluing them together.

You can try it on this site, right now.

Just hit UP – UP – DOWN – DOWN – LEFT – RIGHT – LEFT – RIGHT – B – A

Before The Konami Code

After The Konami Code

Fantastic!
