HISS: A Game-Inspired Skin for the Video.js 10 Player

Portfolio project
Ganesh Datta
HISS is a game-console skin for the Video.js 10 player, made for the Video.js skin challenge.
The seek bar is a lane and the playhead is a snake. Every pellet it eats is time you have watched. Drag ahead and it chases the playhead. Drag back and it coughs the pellets up.
Each screen you see is a real player state. PRESS START is the poster, the snake circles while the video loads, ties itself in a knot when you pause, and shows GAME OVER if the stream fails. The end of the video is STAGE CLEAR.
It plays on a desktop, a phone, a phone held sideways and in full screen. It works with a keyboard alone, holds up in high-contrast mode, and streams from Mux. Play it
