Console Fright Night

Give someone an audio fright... or welcome, when they open the web inspector/console on your website (using Safari/Chrome... sorry!)

Instructions

Console Fright Night is a stand alone library (no jQuery, or the likes) so usage is pretty straight forward. You'll need to include CFN.js to your page, and create a new instance of CFN.

Usage

Console Fright Night (CFN) lives entirely within the JS realm, which makes things fairly simple to use.

<script>
// CFN script included on the page, already.

// You can init the script, by calling.
window.onload = function() {
  new CFN({src: "path-to-your-audio-file.mp3"});
}

</script>

But How?

CFN defines a custom "getter" to an audio element, which is then constantly logged to the console. When the browser is actually open, this getter will be triggered, allowing us to detect that the console is open. This happens on lines 31 - 33 of cfn.js.

Because of these console checks, it will look like your console is being spammed, but that's how it works. Not much else we can do there.
