This was an interesting series of shorts. The bouncing screen edge overlay and the use of PDF made me chuckle. Very nostalgic.

It works by placing a ballpoint pen (eg. a Bic) vertically on the paper held up by a fingertip, then moving your finger back and away from the direction you’re aiming until the pen tip slides/rolls itself and the pen drops onto the paper. You draw a small ‘x’ where there resulting line ends.
Your opponent then does the same thing. And you repeat from your previous ‘x’. You’ll each end up with a series of —×—× over the page.
