Since I posted last about the SVG Sketch page I have added some new features to it. I added the ability to post your sketch and then view it along with other peoples sketches in the gallery. I just thought it would be fun to be able to see sketches that others have drawn. So far it’s just been a few of us at work posting sketches when we’re procrastinating!

We have been playing (eh hem… working) with SVG in the office just recently for a client. I can’t really talk about the client work we are doing apart from saying it’s pretty damn cool. Besides that, we have been dreaming up some other playful idea’s using SVG and I’m going to show one of them here. Steve initially came up with this idea along with the phrase “get it done” followed by “is it done yet?” a few seconds later.

It’s an SVG sketch game. I built it using the wonderful Raphael JavaScript library which enables you to dynamically build SVG elements in a document using JavaScript.

It has some really cool touches like having to shake it to clean away your current drawing. You can use your keyboard arrow keys or click the buttons with your mouse to work it. There isn’t really much more to say other than to go and have a look at it. Check out the JavaScript if you’re interested in knowing how it’s working.
