The (Vector) Running Man

Here's a little piece inspired by the cool and creative people in the wonderful Inkscape facebook group. This particular concept came about as a result of Inkscape Challenge 66: to create a character animation by designing the animation frames in open source vector graphics application Inkscape first, then exporting them all and converting to an animated GIF. The developer in me decided it would be fun to take it a step further and use the exported SVG assets, along with some CSS3 and Javascript, to leave this interactive graphic. Click, tap, or hit the spacebar to make the character jump. It strikes me at this point that it's practically a game already - one of those 'endless runner' type mobile games - and with some collision detection and a few obstacle graphics, I could probably finish it off into one. Could be one for a rainy Saturday afternoon...
