Turn on your speakers, turn up the volume, and enjoy this awesome internet find: HTML5Zombo.com!
What’s the point? Why did someone spend the time to do this? It’s all because they wanted Zombo.com on their iPad:
How I did it, for nerds:
- Watched the Net tab for zombo.com in Firebug
- wget http://www.zombo.com/inrozxa.swf
- wget http://www.zombo.com/welcomeclip.swf
- Opened them in SWFRIP to extract the MP3 and SVG representations of the logo and spinner.
- Opened the SVG files in Adobe Illustrator (ironic, I know), tweaked a bit, exported new SVG files
- Copy-pasted the SVG contents into this HTML file, tweaked the attributes a bit
- Wrote the JS code to rotate the SVG spinner
- Converted the MP3 to OGG using oggenc2 (not really necessary for the iPad, but apparently for Firefox)
- Discovered that the iPad does not respect autoplay on HTML5 audio tags, crafted a javascript link for iPads
- wget http://www.zombo.com/favicon.ico
And that’s that.

Harkens back to the days of pirated Flash script kitties getting their first taste of animated faces. Got to the original site from a link from Fark. Took forever to load on my not-quite-ever 56K modem.
I am old.
