Genius you mean ?

    Well, it's quite cool, but if PDF supports javascript, putting a javascript game in a PDF is something obviously possible. I don't know if it qualifies as genius. If the game was made from PostScript commands somehow, that would be genius.

    Anyway, I love this content on Hacker news, as opposed to people explaining how they want Apple to take their freedom away, because freedom is dangerous.

      May I be the first to reply that I am glad that this works in neither Safari nor Preview.app :)

    Obviously a talented individual. Nice to see them wasting time making something ridiculous

      I don't know how serious you are, but for others projects like this are virtually never a waste of time. There's opportunity cost of course, but that's very difficult to measure. I'm sure OP learned a ton about PDFs in the process, and there is/are no shortage of needs for PDF creation. More broadly they also deepened their knowledge of javascript and other things.
