Wow.  I didn't realize you could play it.  Then after I played it, I thought it was flash.  That IS impressive javascript.

Good to see nothing has changed.  I suck at it now as equally as I did in 1984.

If Google REALLY wanted to be impressive, they'd allow Ms. Pac-Man to be controlled by another user remotely over the Internet.

I've gone back to that *fudge*er 5 or 6 times and still can't clear the first screen.

It's really interesting how they did this. Each "sprite" is a DIV element with this image as the background:

What displays in the DIV element is controlled through CSS using offsets. Each "pill" that Pac-Man eats is also a DIV element.

On my browser, I turned on image outlines, and I can see these big rectangles moving around the screen. You can see screen artifacts left by the movement in the attached screen shot.

It was a Friday. Do they really think people were working anyway?
