Pacman
Fans of Pacman may have seen Google’s recent HTML implementation of Pacman on their homepage constructed with hundreds of DIV elements. Dale Harvey has created a HTML5 version of Pacman that uses the canvas element.
Retaining the classic maze and your favourite four ghosts, this version of Pacman runs smoothly and authentically as you steer Pacman around the maze collecting dots and power pills.

Comments from the Author:
This is most of the Pacman game everyone knows and loves. I wanted to play with new web technologies so writing a simple browser game seemed like a good idea. It currently uses localStorage, HTML5 Audio, Canvas and @font-face.
Dale has also made the code available on Github.

The ghosts are a little dumb, but aside from that it’s really nicely done.
