Shaving off another byte, with document.write

[pci]

By using document.write to write the ending score the body doesn't need an id, overall saving a byte. The canvas is removed because the document.write is called after the page is loaded, implicitly calling document.open and creating a new page.

Well it turns out Chrome keeps the timer attached and is happy to keep doing document,writes until the cows come home (i.e. it fills the screen)!

very cool! Too bad it doesn't work in chrome. It does work in firefox.

Agreed, I'd even managed to get a rhyme in the commit message and everything :)

My guess would be that although it creates a new page that the setInterval is still attached and so continues to spew document.write's and for some reason in chrome each new message doesn't clear the older messages.

It's a great project though, and very surreal that this comment is longer than the code!
