It has been sitting in a FF tab since it was linked by Ajaxian. How about implementing some sort of highscores table? Give us at least the top 10, please :-) More important, thanks for the review of the sound library. I was considering to use it in a project of mine but I won't, because of the re-embedding bug/feature. I'll probably look at SoundManager instead and keep an eye on how the work on sound.js goes on.

However, being fairly color blind I cannot tell a few of the colors apart. You need a grey scale option. ;) Nice! However, being fairly color blind I cannot tell a few of the colors apart.

Javascript has come a *long* way recently (yay!), but I think that it's a mistake to try and shoehorn either it or flash into a role for which it isn't suited. A flash implementation would have taken less time to develop, wouldn't have suffered from the drawbacks you mention (particularly compatibility with that POS IE6) and would have allowed an infinitely richer interface. I know that this is beside the point - that you built it just to roadtest the latest versions of prototype and scriptaculous - but I have to say that I'm sometimes worried by the lengths people will go to reproduce the behviour in one that should by rights belong to the other. Otherwise great job! Hi Gary

I think your suggestions sounds like a nice addition. Regarding dom:loaded I'm a bit surprised it didn't work for you as the unit tests for it work fine in IE6. Would you mind opening a ticket with a failing test case for it ? It could be doctype related. What a slick implementation Gary, congrats!
