Is the Gideon Sundback google doodle implemented in javascript ?

I tried to trace through firebug, but could not really “get” its implementation details ?

Any thoughts on how it might be implemented ?

    Yes it’s JavaScript.

    It uses the <canvas> element.

    Here is the code:

    (function () {
        var c = !0,
            d = !1;
        try {
            window.google || (window.google = {});
            google.doodle || (google.doodle = {});
            var f = google.doodle,
                h, j, k, l, m, n, o = 0,
                p = 23,
                q, r, s, u, v, w, x, y = 142,
                z = 356,
                A = 311,
                B = 0,
                C = 0,
                D = 30,
                E = 15,
                F = d,
                G, H = d,
                I = d,
                J = {
