This application lets you transform any website into a playable experience for the famous 1980s Nintendo classic Mario Bros. The creator has provided step-by step instructions for converting the pages into blocks. However it requires some programming skills. Scroll down to view video A London-based developer has created Super Mario code for Macs. Screentendo is an application that lets users to transform websites into 'blocks.' Mario can be controlled by the stage like in the game. It will require some programming to make this feature function. servers Screentendo created the MailOnline logo. Screentendo was built by London-based developer Aaron Randall. When you drag a window over the web page, different elements can be transformed into blocks from the Super Mario games. Avengers fans, assemble! Limited edition Iron Man Galaxy S6...

ANGRY BIRDS to BATTLE MARIO IN ORDER TO INTERMIT HALL OF FAME 15 video games that have captivated gamers for hours have been chosen as finalist for the World Video Game Hall of Fame. The list includes arcade trailblazers Pong and Space Invaders, smartphone favourites Angry Birds and Minecraft and many more for console and computer. They include: Doom, FIFA soccer and the Legend of Zelda. And to actually make use of it, you'll need be able to do a decent job changing source code, and using a program called CocoaPods. He explained that Screentendo starts with transparent windows that can be moved and resized to accommodate other applications. 'After placing the Screentendo window on top of an area of the screen, pressing inside the window will cause the application to render a game level based on the content beneath it.' Mr Randall said to MailOnline that he developed the application 'in just a few days'. He said that the most challenging part of the app was the image processing. This meant that the application know how to process any kind of image and the structure that underlies it to be able to generate a level. He stated that it can be used on any site, but is most effective on pages that have the highest contrast. Screentendo is an early Super Mario Bros. screenshot that is shown. Screentendo is currently only available for Macs. The code is available for download from GitHub. Mr. Randall states that the app is a proof of concept hack currently and still has some flaws Randall said that he built it due to his passion for building things, especially smaller projects like this. He said: 'It's an excellent excuse to study new frameworks and languages, and try to solve some intriguing issues that you might not normally work on. The idea came from a conversation I had with a colleague. He spends a lot of his time looking at graphs that track our servers and I joked that I would build an app that would overlay these graphs to make them more interesting. Mr Randall stated to MailOnline that he created the software 'over a few days'. He claimed that the most difficult part of the software was image processing. It was about making the application be able to recognize any type of image and the underlying structure in order to be able to generate a level. A couple of weeks later, we had a hackday at my office (where everyone works on whatever they like), and I came up with something that later evolved into Screentendo. He notes on his site that the application at the moment is very much an experimental hack which has a few issues. He stated that the phyiscs are slightly off. He just wanted to come up with something that could work well enough'. Continue reading: AaronRandall/Screentendo * GitHub Screentendo | Aaron Randall
