The internet search giant Google launched another Google Doodle guessing game Tuesday, with a new interactive Google logo that you can manipulate with your mouse.The giant Google replaced its static logo with a set of dynamic colored balls that make up the Google logo. Move your mouse pointer near the logo and all the balls disperse and don’t settle down until the pointer stops moving.It is a lot of fun to try out, another neat trick is that you can do is to get the balls to move by shaking you browser window.

Many are guessing it’s a celebration of Google’s anniversary. The big company was incorporated on September 7, 1998, the Softpedia points that Google Logo is a JavaScript that has bases the particle movement simulator, and suggesting the logo may be in honor of a sicentific achievement or notable personality.If you remember that Google released a series of Sci-Fi, related Google Doodles in 2009 September, celebrated the 143rd B-Day, of autor H.G. Well, this may be the first Google Doodle in a series of tributes just like last year.

The search giant’s design team used this occasion to show off the capabilities of modern Web technologies.The logo uses HTML 5 and JavaScript to create the particle simulator effect.
And this is the fourth interactive design that Google has used on its front page. In January the search giant celebrate Isaac Newton’s birthday with a falling apple animation, according to Search Engine Land. In May, Google turned its logo into a Pac-Man game to celebrate the iconic video game’s 30th anniversary.

Recently, the Google logo was changed to an interactive Buckyball on September 4 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its discovery.

The Buckyball, is also known as the Buckminsterfullerene C60 is a molecule made entirely of carbon. This was named after the engineer and architect Richard Buckminster Fuller who invented the geodesic dome. This was the one of many tech-related silver anniversaries being celebrated in 2010.

JavaScript was first released on 1995 September under the name LiveScript as part of Netscape Navigator 2.0, according to JavaScript Basics by Christian Wenz, maybe this doodle has something to do with the 15th anniversary of JavaScript.
