doodle jump -- an html5 app -- webized

I came across a cute html5 app called doodle jump:

Since the code was open, I thought I'd add WebID authentication (at this
point I just added WebID, but OAuth, OpenID Connect, Facebook Connect are
possible too).

It only took a few minutes and you can go into more detail, if you are so
inclined, but the simple technique was to add:

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'https://data.fm/user.js' + '?callback=displayUser';
document.body.appendChild(script);

function displayUser(val) {
    webIDText = document.getElementById('webid');
    webIDText.innerHTML = val;
}

And a little <span> element in the HTML next to score.

The app lets you post your high score to twitter, but perhaps it would be a
cool exercise, for the RWW, to post to MyProfile, ODS or bergnet ...
