Open source javascript clone. https://rawgithub.com/Fordi/eyegame/master/eyes.html

This is neat. Some issues I spotted: spot-0.png doesn't seem to be a Gabor stimulus pattern (see http://www.cogsci.nl/software/online-gabor-patch-generator), the "press F11" and "Click to begin" messages don't go away (and sometimes going fullscreen is impossible/undesirable anyway).

For people wanting to look at the code it's at https://github.com/Fordi/eyegame

Also, what's the license?

Heh, nice. Just a little feedback - I can select all purposely or by accident and it highlights the dots. Also, in FF on Win 7, the 'press f11' prompt won't go away. Thanks for the opportunity to get an idea of what this is about, though.

My screen is too dirty to be able to play. :(

Thanks! This motivated me to clean my monitor.

Thanks for this! The code is a joy to read through, this is really well crafted javascript.

This seems more like a test of mouse movement speed than vision. Probably depends heavily on monitor calibration though.

what are the instructions?

I pressed F11 to go to full screen. The message didn't change. Anyway, I saw a circle pointer and spots on the screen so I started clicking them one by one and they got 'cleaned'. Finally, I removed all the spots that I could see. Nothing happened after that. No message.

that was fast.

I was going to do it myself but ~24 hours later here we are :P

thank you internets!
