I put Breakout (aka Brick Breaker) inside Google Calendar! It lets you decline any meetings you shatter.
blog info + chrome extension link in thread!
@eieio Cool. Will there be a Katamari ball next?
I'm not sure it still works but there was a JavaScript add-on that would turn any webpage into a Katamari game - it could be loaded directly as a bookmark with:
javascript:var%20i,s,ss=['http://kathack.com/js/kh.js','http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js'];for(i=0;i!=ss.length;i++){s=document.createElement('script');s.src=ss[i];document.body.appendChild(s);}void(0);
I don't think loading js from bookmarks works anymore but it might work from the js console (I don't have access to a desktop right now...)
@eieio This idea is absolutely mad. In all the right ways. I love it!
@myherozero will also love this
@jaykass I'd accept a lot more meetings to only play breakout with them all
@eieio is there a Tetris version as well? 
@SteveGodwin i was thinking a multiplayer version where someone is adding events to your calendar and you're playing tetris with them (kinda with a tetris effect vibe) would be really fun!! but i need a break from calendar games lol
This is what one should be doing all day. I'll block it in my calender.
Darcy @eieio Genius! Mad genius, which is the best type.
I've never felt so motivated to play breakout!
@futurebird :D
someone suggested that it *adds* events if you don't win to give even more motivation lol
The ideal is to be calmly playing this during a meeting when some asks you if you can also please help with the committee to do The Thing.
"mmm? oh? Hold on--"
*tapping arrow keys, bouncing sounds*
"uh... yeah... yeah I guess I could do that... what do you mean... 'nevermind' ?"
@eieio video description: a ball and paddle appear at the bottom of Google calendar, and as the ball flies upwards, it bounces off calendar events, shattering and removing them in the process. The paddle is controlled side-to-side to bounce the ball back upwards and break more events.
@tiotasram thank you! i should have added one. i've added it now.
@eieio@mastodon.gamedev.place chaotic evil: remove the dialog
@eieio Needs a top-bottom reversed version to facilitate getting rid of morning meetings!
@eieio
This is genius 
@alienmelon
@eieio If only #BlackBerry had implemented this feature in their calendar or brickbreaker app they might have survived...
@eieio
This is great! 
I can just imagine Space Invaders and Asteroids versions, too.
@hackthepromise
@eieio I love this. Reminds me of when somebody hacked the original doom to put process numbers of every demon and when you killed them it killed the process.
@ScotttSee @eieio
Killing demons = killing daemons. Love it.
@eieio oh, would also be nice for a kanban or devops board
@eieio "sit down" meetings?
Is this the next level of meeting encrustation on supposedly "agile" software development, for when the morning "stand up" is not enough?
@billba Ha, that’s awesome.
@eieio beautiful!
