Faces JS
Way back in 1997, before I even learned to write web pages, I heard about a web page named Faces from an Internet magazine. Faces is written by a man called Cory R. Gilbert and allows people to mix and match celebrities' heads, eyes and mouths. There are two versions of the Faces program: one using frames, and a non-frames version powered by CGI script.

As I learned about using JavaScript to switch images on a web page, I was reminded of the Faces game and wondered to myself: "What if I used JavaScript to write a faster version of that Faces program?" After hours of trial and error, I finally wrote a JavaScript version of the game with ten famous people as the faces options. (I actually had 20 people in mind, but I only chose half of them due to time constraints.)

To play the game, choose one of the ten people as specified in the pulldown menus, and click the "Change Head", "Change Eyes" or "Change Mouth" button to change the facial features. You may achieve some warped results ^_~

Enjoy!

HEAD
EYES
MOUTH
