The DOM VIRUS arcade is open
Six free games that play on the page.

DOM VIRUS is open: an arcade of six free browser games by Chris Cooley. Four play right on the page you are reading and turn its letters and buttons into the game board. Two Battlefield tank games run full screen on their own sites. No install, no account, and every game is open source (MIT).

Recall gives the page back

Every game that plays on the page ends the same way. Press Escape or Recall, and the game removes what it added and restores what it changed and still owns. The page is the board, then it is the page again.

Five of the six games run on Fizlet, Chris Cooley's micro animation and game engine for the DOM. The engine story, its bricks and its measured budgets live on fizlet.com.
