An individual enquired about the project and wrote, “This is amazing ! If possible, may I know what resources you used to learn and also how you came up with the idea? Thank You!” To this, the original poster replied, “The idea itself might not be original, but the implementation is, electronics is how I learnt coding. I first coded on an Arduino before coding on an actual computer. I got to embrace the computer capabilities that way. Then rest is curiosity in all kinds of technology.”

“Wow, really impressive. This was the coolest thing I’ve seen on my twitter feed this entire week. Congratulations!” posted another. A third wrote, “I guess seeing this (Chrome Dino Game hack) around 2020/21... on LinkedIn and it went viral. Tbh.” To this, Narisetti replied in agreement.
