Google does an interactive PacMan doodle

GoogleDoodleIn celebration of PacMan’s 30th anniversary, Google decided to do a PacMan doodle that was interactive as well as playable. The “I’m Feeling Lucky” button was replaced with an “Insert Coin” button, and if you pressed it twice, you can have Ms. PacMan join in the game. This was a first for Google, and by looking at the source code, the game was not developed  in an interactive application platform such as Adobe’s Flash, but rather using straightforward CSS, Javascript and clever HTML coding.  Flash does play a role in  producing the sound for the game, which also makes it the first time ever that Flash has been on the Google Homepage.

Check it out while you can, it will disappear by tomorrow. Happy Gaming!
