A pretty cool example of animation but I was thinking it was going to be an actual playable Pacman game. It would be interesting to see if this could be extended to do that. But I don't know of a way to capture key presses with CSS so controlling the pacman without javascript might not be possible. Still nice to see CSS being pushed like this.

Anyone remember animated gifs back when the web was young?

I think we're going to have a revival, only with css3 this time.

What's the advantage of doing animations in CSS rather than JS?

I can't imagine it's computationally cheaper.

On most platforms CSS animation is hardware accelerated

Looks just like a moving circle on me, hardly pacman. (Chrome 19, Windows 7)
