Have a friend or two go to the link at the same time and bump your cursors against each other.
As an exploration into having multiple users actively changing a website, I came up with the idea for "Bumper Cars" but with your mouse. It was a fun coding challenge and a not quite fully realized game.
As a proof of concept, the game works. and can be demo'd on glitch here: https://bumpermouse.glitch.me/. You'll need to send the link to a few friends and have them log on at the same time. There are no accounts or private rooms or anything.
I was pleased that I was able to make it feel fun to bounce your cursor against someone else's. Which is really the most fun part of BumperCars.
