Monkey Match - a memory game to demo amazon web services and greasemonkey

Playing instructions

I'll fetch book cover images from amazon based on your keyword and display them face down. If you pick the same book on consecutive clicks you get one point and get to continue till you miss. Typically, amazon gives me 10 search results per keyword, so the first player to cross five points wins.
Refresh page to start new game.

Enter keyword for images and double click somewhere on screen to start

Player A's name is:
Player B's name is:

Player A : 0 _______________ 0 : Player B

Requirements: Firefox browser, GreaseMonkey and my Monkey Match greasemonkey script.

This page uses the powerful GM_xmlhttpRequest to connect to amazon after the page has loaded in firefox. Thanks to the awesome faqts.com website for tips on javascript sleep, xml parsing with E4X and to about.com for tips on random sorting an array.

So whats the big deal?

So it means there is no server side code. You can save this page to your disk, change the monkey match script settings to include your file url, and play the game without any changes.
