Hello everyone, i've been trying to work this out but it seems i can't get it right.
What i want to do is the following, I found the konami code JS somewhere in the web, and it tells you how to activate it and everything. Now what i want to do is, once Konami Code is activated lunch a snowing script that will make some snow storms.

However I can't get it to lunch when the konami code is input, i can make alerts go but it seems i can't make the snow storm go.


Here is the konami code code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var kkeys = [], konami = "38,38,40,40,37,39,37,39,66,65";
$(document).keydown(function(e) {
  kkeys.push( e.keyCode );
  if ( kkeys.toString().indexOf( konami ) >= 0 ){
    $(document).unbind('keydown',arguments.callee);
    // Launch easter egg here    
$.getScript('URL OF THE JS HERE, Removed for privacy reasons', function(){
  SnowStorm()

});  
  }
});

</script>

Now the JavaScript for the SnowStorm is the following, I know it works right, but i can't get it to work togther with the Konami code:

/*
   DHTML PNG Snowstorm! OO-style Jascript-based Snow effect
   --------------------------------------------------------
   Version 1.3.20081215 (Previous rev: v1.2.20041121a)
   Dependencies: GIF/PNG images (0 through 4.gif/png)
   Code by Scott Schiller - http://schillmania.com
   --------------------------------------------------------
   Description:
  
   Initializes after body onload() by default (via addEventHandler() call at bottom.)
  
   Properties:
  
   usePNG
   ---------------
   Enables PNG images if supported ("false" falls back to GIF)
  
   flakeTypes
   ---------------
   Sets the range of flake images to use (eg. a value of 5
   will use images ranging from 0.png to 4.png.)
  
   flakesMax
   ---------------
   Sets the maximum number of snowflakes that can exist on
   the screen at any given time.
   
   flakesMaxActive
   ---------------
   Sets the limit of "falling" snowflakes (ie. moving, thus
   considered to be "active".)
  
   vMax
   ---------------
   Defines the maximum X and Y velocities for the storm.
   A range up to this value is selected at random.
  
   flakeWidth
   ---------------
   The width (in pixels) of each snowflake image.
  
   flakeHeight
   ---------------
   Height (pixels) of each snowflake image.
   
   flakeBottom
   ---------------
   Limits the "bottom" coordinate of the snow.

   snowStick
   ---------------
   Allows the snow to "stick" to the bottom of the window.
   When off, snow will never sit at the bottom.
  
   snowCollect
   ---------------
   Enables snow to pile up (slowly) at bottom of window.
   Can be very CPU/resource-intensive over time.
   Also requires snowStick = true.

   followMouse
   ---------------
   Allow the mouse to affect the "wind", left-to-right.

If anyone could help me, that would be great.

Are you using a javascript or AJAX library? If so, which one?

If not - what are the $ in the javascript for?

[donald_nqn]

To be honest, i don't know.
I took the script from here.

Does Your Site have the Konami Code?
Does Your Site Have The Konami Code?

[wirehopper]

It looks like the code from SitePoint is jQuery - so you could add jQuery to your site, or you could Google around until you find a straight javascript version - which is probably your best bet.

Of find a site that has the snow and do view source, or use FireBug to inspect the snow element (may not be possible).

// check to make sure that the browser can handle window.addEventListener
if (window.addEventListener) {
    // create the keys and konami variables
    var keys = [],

    // bind the keydown event to the Konami function
    window.addEventListener("keydown", function(e){
        // push the keycode to the 'keys' array
        keys.push(e.keyCode);
