Why when losing Google Chrome network for users to play dinosaur games?

If you are a user of Google Chrome browser, perhaps you are not new to the image of the dinosaur that appears every time the Internet is disconnected.

Users follow the fact that a game runs forever using two keys to navigate up (to jump up) and down (to bend down) with the goal of taking the dinosaur as far as possible to achieve a high score. To celebrate the fourth birthday of the dinosaur on Chrome, Google has officially revealed the 'origin' of this dinosaur.

The dinosaur is familiar to Chrome users.

According to Chrome designer Sebastien Gabriel, the dinosaur was born to bring users back to 'prehistoric times' before the existence of Wi-Fi. The original design of this dinosaur was codenamed 'Project Bolan' as a reference to Marc Bolan, the lead vocalist of the famous 70s rock group before the T-Rex.

Alan Bettes, Google's graphic designer, explains the only limitation the development team places on themselves is the rigid movement of the dinosaur . 'At first, we thought,' What if he takes a kick? What if he roared to notify everyone that he was alive? But in the end, we chose the simplest of running games: running, jumping, and bending . "

You do not need to turn off the network or wait until the network is lost to meet dinosaurs on Chrome by typing chrome: // dino in the address bar and press Enter.

The dinosaur game was first launched in September 2014 but was initially unable to operate on all platforms - especially older Android devices. This led the development team to rewrite the game and this was done in December of that year.

Although Chrome Dino is not a feature you always see (only when the Internet is lost) only, it still achieves impressive numbers. According to Edward Jung, Chrome's user interface engineer, 270 million games are played every month, on both mobile and desktop platforms. Players are mostly from countries with expensive or less stable Internet data such as India, Brazil, Indonesia or Mexico.
