MicroDino is a simple game for Windows, inspired by Dino Run.
It's designed to stay over the taskbar, because I made it to kill time in short burst, when I'm waiting for an email or something similar.
DOWNLOADS:

MicroDino.ahk for geeks 🤓 |

FEATURES: - Portable stand-alone game - Light-weight (~1mb) - It has a dinosaur in the icon! |
- Script for AutoHotkey v2 - Hyper-lightweight (~4kb) - Completely editable |
INSTALLATION: - Just download it and open it |
- Install AutoHotkey v2 - Download and open my script or copy the code 👾 |
COMMANDS: Hold Ctrl to run the game, while doing that press Shift to jump.
CUSTOMIZATION: Open MicroDino.ahk with any text editor (like Notepad) to edit it.
MicroDino can be dragged around, and if it spawns outside of your screen it should correct itself (if it does so the background is orange instead of transparent).
To set a custom starting position you can either:
- Edit MicroDino.ahk > Edit guiX and guiY > Save > Relaunch.
Example:guiX:= 1600
guiY:= 900
Works with:✅.ahk
