Fantastic js1k Submissions

Posted by Soulskill on from the still-waiting-on-a-quake-3-implementation dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With just five days left in the current competition to write an app in only 1kb of JavaScript, the submissions are becoming increasingly impressive. Take for instance a beautiful 3D animation drawing on a 2D canvas. Or a mine cart animation. If you wait long enough you'll actually get to caves! Can you manage to write a demo that fits on the hall of fame before the deadline closes?"

    The fact that a lot of the work is being done by the javascript language itself makes this somewhat less impressive.

    You shut your whore mouth. Did you look at the demos mentioned in the summary? There's a fucking a mine cart ride. It goes up and down while accounting for acceleration due to gravity. Some of the overhead lights randomly flicker. There's goddamn caves. With stalactites.

    So go ahead and shrug it off if you're not interested. But I'll be fucked by a pineapple before I let you dismiss them as anything less than the accomplishments they are.
