Update request

I see a new edge://surf/ game in Edge 83, is there any plans for updating.

I tried download all the sources of edge://surf/, but during the running, I got the following errors.

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: chrome.send is not a function
    at Object.sendWithPromise (cr.js:347)
    at Function.getAllStats (surf.bundle.js:205)
    at surf.bundle.js:6610
    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
    at surf.bundle.js:6591
    at new Promise (<anonymous>)
    at Cs (surf.bundle.js:6568)

The errors come from cr.js:347. Why your code did not invoke this scripts. 😲

@liudonghua123, you and I are hitting the same problem. I forked this repro and was going to provide a PR, tagging the first version and providing an update with the latest, but I can't seem to get past that call either. The most obvious thing is that this function wasn't called in the first version.

Okay, this looks like it is going to get more complicated. sendWithPromise() and send() are part of WebUI. “WebUI” is a term used to loosely describe parts of Chrome's UI implemented with web technologies (i.e. HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Because the game runs in edge://, it is an internal resource. This also allows it to access and load shared libraries in edge://resources/. It looks like the method it is calling, in this first case get-stats is "native code" and is something built into Edge. surf.bundle.js:formatted@205-245 has 11 calls which are going to cause problems...

It won't save scores and there might be other issues, but I got it working. I'll try to clean things up tomorrow and will try to get a pull request together.

@rbeesley nice exploration, thanks, look forward to your pr 😄

So this is complicated. I fixed things to the point that I'm capable of running the game in Edge. If I switch to InPrivate mode on the same browser or switch to Edge (beta channel) in either normal or InPrivate the same files fail. I was able to get the save scores working, but there must be some cached file which is making this work and which I can't yet track down. I must be close, but I can't for the life of me understand what is different between the different browser instances so that only one of the four configurations I'm using works.

Figured it out. When I was trying to do clean up I removed some initializing data I thought which was redundant. It turns out that what I had already saved into localStorage was making my one instance work while the others which did not have this initial state were breaking. I should be able to create the PR with a little more clean up.

Resolved with #2
