celebrating Pac-Man 30th anniversary by playing it on Google's doodle

By far the best Google doodle I've seen (hint, hint, Ryan Germick, et al.)! I hope we'll get to see Ms. Pac-Man next year! I think it's a better game (sorry Namco).
This javascript + CSS emulation of Pac-Man is very well done, including a similar collision detection bug that is in the original (where you will pass right through a ghost without touching it if Pac-Man and the ghost switch tiles simultaneously).
A score of 46,270 isn't the best I've done, but it's fun! :)
Hitting the Insert Coin button (which had taken the place of the usual I'm Feeling Lucky button) once would start the game (as would waiting ~20 seconds). Clicking the Insert Coin button again (before or during play) would put the game into two player mode, with the 2nd person playing as Ms. Pac-Man.
Pac-Man's movements could be controlled by either using the arrow keys on your keyboard (much easier) or using your mouse to click on the screen relative to where the character was (much harder).
Ms. Pac-Man was controlled using the W-A-S-D keys on the keyboard.
Both 1 & 2 player modes started with 4 total lives (including the one you start with) and gave an extra life for every 10,000 points earned.
One difference from the original was that the 2 player mode on Google has both players playing simultaneously. Also, if either player died, they were both reset to their respective starting position.
You can still play the game at google.com/pacman

This version would have been perfect if it wasn't for a glitch where the Pacman comes to a ghost and goes THROUGH it without getting the points (sometimes).
