Re: [WSG] Google Les Paul tribute
Yeah, I was blown away and can now play happy birthday and other 3 chord songs without even picking up the guitar. Looked like flash but no, looks to me like all dom programming Strings must be hit areas toggling animated gifs and triggering mp3s - framework? - no - or something or something - I reckon it's a worthy discussion for WSG On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 9:11 PM, Jason Grant wrote: > HTML, CSS and JavaScript of course. > > > On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 12:05 PM, Grant Bailey < > grant_malcolm_bai...@westnet.com.au> wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> Today's Google home page has an interactive guitar in honour of Les Paul. >> It makes sounds when you 'strum' the strings. >> >> I was wondering what technologies Google used to create this incredible >> element.

Re: [WSG] Google Les Paul tribute
The sound is done using Flash (there's no tag). Anyone else appreciate the irony (and I know this isn't the first time by a long way !) how much Google espouses open technologies and then always obfuscates their code ;-) N Nick Brown | Director | Boss Level | http://www.bosslevelgames.com [1] +44 (0) 752 881 0476 | n...@bosslevelgames.com On Thu 09/06/11 13:41 , Chris Harris wrote: HTML5, easy to do Kind Regards, Chris HarrisCEO | Founder | producerjuicemediach...@juicemedia.com.au T. 612 99044022M. 61 413 108870 www.juicemedia.com.au [2] On Jun 9, 2011, at 9:16 PM, Jason Grant wrote: HTML, CSS and JavaScript of course.
