A Tribute to The Beatles
24 de Abril del 2010I’ve done this CSS/Javascript experiment as a tribute to The Beatles for its 50th anniversary.
Click on the lyrics!
It works on mostly all the browsers from IE5.5 and up. The best results will be shown if the system has Arial font installed on it and font-antialiasing is enabled. It will look good enough with Helvetica if Arial is not present, but probably not very good with other fonts.

Muy bueno, me gusta!! felicidades!
Another classic CSS ASCII art example. Well done! :)
Wow, you always make things look like magic in just a few lines of code, congrats!
Román, tienes un talento impresionante. Nunca dejas de sorprenderme.
Awesome! I really like that. Did you do the other guys?
Can u explain how u do it?:D i see nice work here :D i will visit soon ..good work dude ;)
Me encanta Javi!! un saludo
“Yesterday” - that’s McCartney’s song, not Lennon’s…

Román - ingenioso!
Por favor, ¿puede explicarnos el Javascript?
Veo que se usa el function ani() para animar las letras, pero como se cambian los coordenadas?
¡Enseñanos, por favor!
Buen uso de las matemáticas, y admirable creatividad!
love The Beatles… great work :)
“Goofy” is correct; Yesterday was actually McCartney’s first solo hit. He wrote it and it was recorded by Paul alone, after the other Beatles had left the studio. Producer George Martin later added the strings. At the time, Lennon and McCartney were contractually required to list both names on each other’s songs, regardless how much either contributed.
None of this should detract from the fabulous work you’re doing with CSS, however. Mind-boggling what you’ve demonstrated at this site. Good work!

Dear Mr.
Sooo great, really love this! Can you explain a bit how you do this!? Certainly the algorithm just move the characters a bit in each frame on a pre-defined path, but how can you get the “morphing path” between the text and the final ascii-art!?
Best
