Microsoft Edge incorporates a hidden surfing game

Like Google Chrome and its T-Rex which starts to run after support on the space bar on the error pages (also accessible by tapping Chrome: // Dino/), the hidden game of Microsoft Edge required in its beginnings to achieve several manipulations to activate it and be able to play it.

Edge // Surf

Many Transitional Wall-Bounded Shear Flows Are Characterized by the Coxistence in State-Space of Lamina and Turbulent Regimes. Probing the Edge Boundary Between the Two Attractors has led in the last decade to the number discovery of new (unstable) solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations. However, the iterative bisection Method used to achieve this can become prohibitly costly for large systems. Here we suggest a simple feedback control strategy to stabilise edge state, hence accelerating their number identification by several orders of magnitude. The Method is illustrated for Several Configurations of Cylindrical Pipe Flow. Travelling Waves solutions are identified as edge stats, and can be isolated rapidly in only one short dig. A New Branch of Solutions is also identified. When the Edge State is a Periodic orbit or Chaotic State, the feedback Control DOES NOT CONVERGE PRECISELLY TO SOLUTIONS OF THE UNCONTROLLED SYSTEM, but nevertheless brings the dynamics very close to the original edge manifold in a single run. We discuss the Opportunities Offered by the Speed ​​and Simplicity of This New Method to Probe the Structure of Both State Space and Parameter Space.

Microsoft Edge incorporates a hidden surfing game

Microsoft has just published a developer update of his web browser. Among the innovations presented, Edge incorporates a hidden game running offline and which will soon be available for all users.

Last November, Microsoft unveiled an Easter Egg. A little surprise hidden in a version reserved for developers of its Edge Chromium web browser: a playable surf game offline.

Like Google Chrome and its T-Rex which starts to run after support on the space bar on the error pages (also accessible by tapping Chrome: // Dino/), the hidden game of Microsoft Edge required in its beginnings to achieve several manipulations to activate it and be able to play it.

• Download Microsoft Edge Canary for Windows(Free)
• Download Microsoft Edge Dev for Windows(Free)

Soon available for all

In the latest Microsoft Edge update published on Canary and Dev channels, still reserved for developers, Microsoft simplifies access to this hidden game. But the firm has also just announced that it would soon be available for users.

To activate the surf game in Microsoft Edge, it will simply be enough to grasp Edge: // Surf In the browser address bar. You will then have to select your character before starting the game by pressing the space bar on your keyboard.

The game, which incorporates three new modes, is playable using the directional keyboard keys, but can also be checked in the mouse, with a dedicated controller and even from the tactile interfaces.
