I didn’t realize this was only on the French version of google (http://www.google.fr), but today they published the best Google doodle I’ve seen yet in honor of Stanlislaw Lem (Solaris, etc., also turned into a film of the same name Andrei Tarkovsky and again by Steven Soderbergh). Who else but Google would let you blow up robots with 7-segment displays on their home page (it’s a rhetorical question but if there’s an answer I’d totally love to hear about that too!)?
As 2022 starts, let’s take some time to share our goals for CircuitPython in 2022. Just like past years (full summary 2019, 2020, and 2021), we’d like everyone in the CircuitPython community to contribute by posting their thoughts to some public place on the Internet. Here are a few ways to post: a video on YouTub, a post on the CircuitPython forum, a blog post on your site, a series of Tweets, a Gist on GitHub. We want to hear from you. When you post, please add #CircuitPython2022 and email circuitpython2022@adafruit.com to let us know about your post so we can blog it up here.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
This thing’s a total trip!
its on google.co.uk too. damn cool
i liked it alot, but i couldnt shake the feeling that google would be analysing my performance and changing its website based on the results of this mass iq/response/attention span/what you pay attention to, game.
i dont know if its even possible to analyse detailed movements of the mouse etc, but if it is i can see some weird stuff going on at google with this data.
Just found it – great fun!
Stanisław not Stanlislaw 😉
The doodle is about the book “The Cyberiad”, by Lem, and the two constructors depicted in it Trurl and Klapaucius.
It is about some of the aventures they live in it.
I have read that book one dozen times!
Hooray! I <3 Lem!

google.pl should be the first to mention as Lem was polish :o)
Well, it looks like it is displayed based on IP address – I get this doodle both on google.pl and google.com.
Stanisław Lem wrote awsome books….
On google.it too…I suppose it’s displayed in all european countries
I would think it’s in all non-US countries; US gets the Thanksgiving doodle, but other countries don’t celebrate Thanksgiving or celebrate it on different days (e.g. Canada.)
Was I supposed to do anything with the nose etc. in the last puzzle?
