Katamari+Hack+(Ailan)

 Overview
An anonymous coder has put together a bookmarklet that will destroy nearly all productivity a web surfer has by turning any webpage viewed in the Google Chrome browser (or any other HTML5-compliant browser) into a rousing game of //[|Katamari Damacy]//.

A bookmarklet is an applet, a small computer application stored as the URL of a bookmark in a web browser or as a hyperlink on a webpage.[[|1]] To utilize the Kataramari hack, users can copy and paste the script given on [|kathack.com] into the location bar on any site. Alternatively, users can drag the designated link into the bookmark bar, visit any webpage and then hit the link.

Utilizing this bookmarklet will reload the webpage, and it will insert its own code before the existing content.[[|2]] It will then bring up a pop-up window displaying instructions, a checkbox for a yay or nay for background music, and the option to mess around with specs (the maximum number of attached objects, the growth speed and the option for realistic pickups). Upon clicking start, the hack will provide users with a ball that can be rolled around a webpage with a right-click and drag, and, in typical Katamari fashion, the ball will pick up smaller bits of text and images that the code has put “span” HTML tags around (which separates everything into individual units for the Katamari to pick up). [[|2]] A more technical explanation of how the hack works can be found on the [|hack's website]. The point is: the more you feed the ball, the bigger it gets, and the bigger it gets, the bigger and more scraps it can pick up – just like [|Sushi Cat]!
