Google’s late Christmas present for developers: open-sourcing its Santa Tracker

Although it’s four months after Christmas, Google is still in the holiday spirit. Today, it’s open-sourced its Santa Tracker project, which includes apps for the Web, Android and Android Wear.

The source code is available on GitHub, and should help developers get a better idea of how to build sites and games using technologies like Polymer, JBox2D, the Web Animations API and OpenGL.
