Hi Luchs, you can also touch the screen; https://github.com/azer/7min.io/blob/master/lib/view.js#L28

Ah, this doesn't work on IE10 which doesn't implement the touch*-events. It would be nice if you enabled clicking (or added a listener for "MSPointerUp"[1]/"pointerUp"[2], which however would work for mouse as well).

could you send a PR to https://github.com/azer/7min.io ?

Sure, I'll create one tomorrow.

Related, I remembered IBM but turns out it was actually Compaq that had to explain in their FAQ what key the “Any” key was: http://web.archive.org/web/20070627063024/http://www29.compa...

and apparently at some point they changed the text to say “Press RETURN to continue”.

Arrow keys didn't work for me, so "Press most any key to start"?

I always start cautiously, with Ctrl.

Just pressing the screen worked for me

I'm on IE10, it probably only listens for WebKit touch events then.
