Hurdles
Built for this siteJump the hurdles yourself, or let the bot run. A rematch with my 2012 Sikuli script.
Controls: Space, ↑, A, or B to jump.
The first two were drawn from recent experience. Hurdles is the rematch: in 2012 I wrote a Sikuli script to play Google’s Olympic hurdles doodle. It finished in 10.8 seconds with two stars, and it never learned to jump. This one does: play it yourself, or let the bot run.
