If you're bored at work and are looking for an excuse to get busy, Screentendo may be the answer.



The app lets you transform any website into a playable version of the iconic 80s Nintendo classic Mario Bros.



And its creator has released step-by-step instructions to assist in converting the pages into blocks but it requires a certain level of coding expertise to use.

Super Mario code has been created by a London developer. Screentendo is an application that allows users to transform websites into blocks.' Mario can be controlled by the stage like in the game. It requires some programming to make this feature function. This is the MailOnline logo created using Screentendo



Screentendo was built by a London-based developer Aaron Randall.



Drag a window across a website page to transform different components into blocks from Super Mario games.

Mario appears and allows players to move around on the floor and destroy the blocks.



ANGRY BIRDS BATTLE MARIO to enter the HALL OF FAME



15 video games that have entertained players for hours have been selected as contenders for the upcoming World Video Game Hall of Fame.



The list includes arcade trailblazers Pong and Space Invaders, smartphone favourites Angry Birds and Minecraft and a variety of other games for console and computer.



They include: Doom, FIFA soccer and the Legend of Zelda.



To be able to utilize it, you'll have to be able to edit source code with a program called CocoaPods.



When Screentendo is launched, a semi-transparent window appears, which can be moved and resized over other windows in the application the developer explained on his site.



"After placing the Screentendo Window on an area of the screen and pressing inside it, the app will render an appropriate level dependent on the content below it."



Mr Randall told MailOnline he built the app in just a few days'.



He claimed that the most difficult aspect of the program was image processing. This meant that the app understand how to take any type of image , and the underlying structure in order to create an image that is of a certain quality.



He stated that it works on any website , but it is most effective on pages that have a high degree of contrast.



Screentendo is an early Super Mario Bros. screenshot that is shown. Screentendo is currently only available for Macs. The code can be downloaded from GitHub. Mr. Randall states that the app is a proof of concept hack currently and still has some flaws



Randall claimed that he built it because of his love for building things and especially smaller projects such as this.



He said, "It's an excuse to learn new languages or frameworks, and to attempt to solve interesting problems that you don't normally get the chance to work on."



"The idea was born from a conversation I had with a colleague. He spends a lot of his time watching graphs that monitor our servers. I suggested that I'd create an application that overlays these graphs to make them more interesting.



Mr Randall stated to MailOnline he built the tool over a few days. The most difficult part of this application was the image processing, which made the program take any image, and then understand the fundamental structure of that image in a way that could be used to generate the game's level,' he said



"A few weeks later, we had a hackday in my office (where everyone is working on whatever they want) and I whipped something together that would later become Screentendo.'



He explains on his website that the app at moment is a 'proof-of-concept' hack which has a few flaws.



And he said the phyiscs were not perfect and he had just set out to come up with something that worked well enough.
