An exercise in futility

ClickeR 'Game'

13 Jan 2023

Purpose

My kids wanted to randomly generate emoji’s and have those descriptions read aloud.

ClickeR ‘Game’


Clicker ‘Game’

A ‘Game’ wherein you click a button, generating a series of random emjoi’s (and their descriptions as a paragraph).

The ‘Player’ can choose to have the browser speak the paragraph aloud, using a selected voice.

This is fairly useless and is intented as an annoyance machine written in MD/HTML/CSS/JS.

Game Legend

FAQ

  • Q: Can I change the speed/pitch?
  • A: Yes! Click on the 🔊 icon and you will find both!

  • Q: Why is the selected voice not working?
  • A: You probably don’t have that localized language pack installed in the browser. To fix this, change your system language. (<– not responsible for your broken OS)

  • Q: What do I win if I get the highest score?
  • A: The satisfaction of knowing you created the largest nonsensical collection of partial & run-on sentences by clicking a button.
