Bring back the 90’s with cursor effects

If you’re of a certain age you may remember visiting a website and suddenly your cursor starts dropping fairy dust all over the page. Or maybe it leaves a rainbow trail.

Well, my friends, I went searching and there’s an easy way to do that now, thanks to somebody called @twholman

It’s trivial to add this to a page, even in WordPress. Here’s the code doing it for this particular page:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/cursor-effects@latest/dist/browser.js"></script>
<script>
window.addEventListener("load", (event) => {
  new cursoreffects.ghostCursor();
});
</script>

That’s it! Now to bring back frames, auto-playing general MIDI music, and flash games.

Speaking of games, I made a synthesizer crossword puzzle right here on my website

And here’s a chiptune rendition of Earth Wind and Fire’s “September”:
