APNG and Peas

APNG is a backwards-compatible extension to the PNG format that handles animation – a modern day, less klunky equivalent of the much abused animated GIF. A pea is a vegetable. Or is it? I am saying no, the pod is a fruit, and the pea itself is a seed. Feel free to argue amongst yourselves.

The above won’t work if you’re using Internet Explorer (stop doing that), and possibly not if you’re one of those Apple types either, though I’m not sure.

Update: I’m told this actually crashes Aurora, Midori and Kazehakase. I can’t help but wonder if that’s exploitable.

    Mac Safari 3.1.2 simply shows the garden; it doesn’t animate through the other pictures.

    Arora (a QtWebKit sample browser) doesn’t animate but doesn’t crash either.

    A pea is both. The intersection of the set of fruits and the set of vegetables also includes tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, and squashes (squishs? :) ).
    The animation is rather fast in Minefield (Gecko/20081012). Also, it’s funny that you’re highlighting APNG using pictures that, as stills, I hope you would save as JPEGs, not PNGs. Maybe we need a MJEPG spec followed by an AJPEG spec… =P

    Just a picture on Google Chrome too. Which browser are you using these days?
