In fact, doodles are so important to Google that they even got a patent for them. Now the team aim to produce around 400 doodles a year, 50-100 of these are animated, and 12 are fully interactive. Users liked it, the intern who designed it got promoted and more doodles followed. The next doodle wasn’t until 2000, to celebrate Bastille Day. They wanted to let users know they were away in case the servers crashed (turns out there was a time when Google would be affected by two guys going to a party). The first doodle was designed in 1998, when co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin used it as an out-of-office while they were at Burning Man. They spend thousands of hours thinking up, designing and coding them.
The doodle team (yes, there’s a whole team who do this for a living) is about ten people. Turns out those fun little distractions don’t come cheap. So I did some research (of course, via Google). But I’ve never stopped to think how much they must cost to make. I’ve clicked some, played around on some of the interactive ones. The weird thing is, considering I see them more often than I see some family members, I’ve never really given them much thought. The coding game is one of 10 games Google is rolling out as part of the series.You know those little pictures or animations that sometimes take over the Google homepage? They’re called doodles. The game developed in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Scratch platform requires players to help a bunny collect carrots by connecting blocks of computer code together. The first game in its series launching Monday is a Doodle released in 2017 celebrating 50 years of kids coding.
