Show HN: Driftmania – an open source PICO-8 racing game

Aside, I just realized Vimium doesn't get disabled inside iframes on pages where it's disabled, nor can you disable the iframe domain from the parent page since the iframe regex won't match the parent url. I had to disable the whole plugin for "x" to work in the iframe. Seems like an oversight on Vimium's part.

As for the game, it's satisfying to ratchet down to the 39 second threshold for the gold medal by figuring our drifting. I realize I was overdrifting and easily beat 39 seconds once I stopped drifting much sooner along the turn.

Sorry about that! There's another version uploaded here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=140202

Does that one work better with vimium?

It's not your fault, of course.

I just figure HN is the only place where someone might commiserate with me for the self-inflicted pain of using a half-baked Vim keybinding plugin for the browser.

It's nice to have the BBS link so I could star it though. :)

I just ran into this also. Incredibly annoying.

This happens with anything Vimium.

I usually just hit the "i" button to enter insert mode.

yeah, this used to happen a lot to me on the itch.io platform which uses iFrame embeddings for HTML5/Canvas games.

Wow same for me. Been using it for quite some time but just noticed the bug, what a coincidence to see it here.
