Really? Autoplaying music on an error page?

Sites that autoplay audio as part of the content I went looking for are bad enough, but it's even worse on an error page, since generally speaking you don't expect to land there.

I guess that's more a portfolio than a "real" website.

As someone who was obsessed with Lemmings back in the day, this is the best thing I've seen on HN in weeks :) It brings back fond memories.

405 days ago... ;)

It's pacific time for me so it's 404 days ago. :)

Here you go:

$("*[alt='lemming tombant']").trigger("mouseover");

Is it just me or can the page detect cheating? I can't seem to save all 404.

It seems to generate the lemmings as they appear on the screen. Thus, you have to run this every time there's a new lemming (or you could run it once for each batch of 20 or so lemmings.)

Good thinking, this should save them all. setInterval(function(){ $("*[alt='lemming tombant']").trigger("mouseover");},100);

  $('img').each(function(){$(this).trigger('mouseenter')});

  setInterval((function(){$('img').each(function(){$(this).trigger('mouseenter')});}), 100);

  winCount = 1000;

then wait until end.

FYI trigger operates on the jQuery collection as a whole:

    $('img').trigger('mouseenter');

I think the 404 needs its own 404 (Front page on HN does that to you) :)

That brings back memories of "DHTML" lemmings from 2004: http://ba.net/juegos/lemmings/

A more recent version is here: http://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/

And a write-up from the original author here: http://crisp.tweakblogs.net/blog/3881/dhtml-lemmings-primer....

(IIRC the original site had to be taken down after complaints from the official copyright/trademark holders.)

If you want to save all the lemmings at once, type this into your developer's console:

tabLemmings.forEach(function(l){ l.paraOpen();})

Typo in the post game message...

Mildly amusing. Nicely done.
