JS1K 2018
Results have been announced for the annual creative coding contest with the aim of producing something in javascript no bigger than 1kb of data.
Examples above are (from top to bottom):
Pollute (my personal fave) by Steven Campbell, a bit like classic Snake but with your mouse, as you move you fire in that direction but leave a trail of expanding circles - very playable [Link]
Cyber Auroras by Jani Ylikangas is a Synthwave-style visual sunset [Link]
Black Rock City by Michael Vogt is a generative 3D terrain [Link]
Nefertiti 1kb by romancortes renders a 3D model of a familiar sculpture [Link]
FYI - the Nefertiti submission looks like this:
