The geek in me is very impressed that the whole thing (well, almost) is written in JavaScript. I say almost because the sounds are done using Flash, but that's all.

There's the odd bug or two in it though - sometimes the ghosts go in endless circles, and I've walked right through a ghost at least twice. Still, great fun and kudos to Google (and HP, I think) for doing it.

Apparently they deliberately re-created the bugs from the original game. Not sure quite what fits into the list, but I've walked through ghosts a few times too.

So it's another day, and the doodle is gone.


But all is not lost. Insert Coin (sorry, no Mute button on this version).
