Everyone is enjoying today's Google doodle and I was wondering how one can create something similar.
Any clue? Like what programming language and what elements did they use?
The quality of this Goodle Doodle is so high quality that I'd think this was a paid app from the play store.

Google celebrate Oskar Fischinger’s 117th Birthday with interesting Doodle on June 22, 2017
Oskar Fischinger was a German-American abstract animator, filmmaker, and painter, notable for creating abstract musical animation many decades before the appearance of computer graphics and music videos.
He was Born on 22 June 1900 at Gelnhausen, German Empire
He made over 50 short films, and painted around 800 canvases, many of which are in museums, galleries and collections worldwide.
He created special effects for Fritz Lang's 1929 Woman In The Moon, one of the first sci-fi rocket movies.
Among his film works is Motion Painting No. 1 (1947), which is now listed on the National Film Registry of the U.S. Library of Congress
In 1924, Fischinger was hired by American entrepreneur Louis Seel to produce satirical cartoons that tended toward mature audiences.
In the 1950s, Fischinger created several animated TV advertisements, including one for Muntz TV
"In 1926 and 1927, Fischinger performed his own multiple projector film shows with various musical accompaniments. These shows were titled Fieber (Fever), Vakuum, Macht (Power) and later, R-1 ein Formspiel".
Fischinger died in Los Angeles in 1967. A great deal of inaccurate information continues to be published about Fischinger, largely taken from decades-old sources, often repeated online.
In the 1930s, color film was becoming increasingly used for a number of productions, but a few individuals not in Hollywood, Len Lye, Oskar Fischinger, and Harry Smith did amazing things with film that seem complicated even to a modern viewer. With the rise in modernism, even Disney jumped in with this for Fantasia to depict abstract shapes in correspondence to music. My question to movie or film historians is the context behind the creation of these obscure "videos," by these animators, and why the idea of putting music to abstract animation like shapes or colors postdates animation with figural aspects like for example, Mickey Mouse. Were these filmmakers producing works for an audience or for research purposes? When so much old film has been destroyed or lost to time, how have these works survived into the present? I know it's a niche topic, but I would like to know more about this still obscure subject with anyone who would want to chat.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
