1k Javascript Demo Contest

1k Javascript Demo Contest
Pulsing 3D wires with volumetric beams



JS1K is a Javascript demo contest where the max size of the demo must not exceed 1k (or 1024 characters). Some of the demos can even fit in a tweet (140 characters) like this one: Binary clock. Here is the code source of this tweetable demo:

setInterval("
x=document.body.children[0].getContext('2d');
x.clearRect(0,0,o=99,9);
d=+new Date()*2;
while(d=d/2)x.fillRect(o-=3,0,d&1*2,9)
",9)

Here is the code of the Pulsing 3D wires demo (1024 char):

f=Math;
e=document.body.children[$=0];
G="globalCompositeOperation";
Q=.43;
P=.05;
with(e)
{
  with(style)width=(w=innerWidth-9)+"px",height=(h=innerHeight-25)+"px";
  W=(width=w/=2)/2;
  H=(height=h/=2)/2;
  g=getContext("2d");
  t=w/h
}
with(g)
{
  scale(W/t,H);
  translate(t,1);
  setInterval(
  function()
  {
    with(E=e.cloneNode(0))width=height=H,c=getContext("2d");
    c.fillRect(0,0,h,h);
    g[G]=c[G]="lighter";
    C=f.cos;
    S=f.sin;
    L=f.atan2;
    q=C($);
    r=S(q-$*.7)+Q;
    u=C(r-$*Q)+Q;
    a=L(q,-u*2);
    b=L(r,u*u+q*q);
    n=C(a);
    o=S(a);
    N=C(b);
    O=S(b);
    $+=P;
    clearRect(-t,-1,2*t,2);
    for(i=14;i>4;--i)
    {
      v=0;
      for(j=25;j;)
      {
        M=f.log(j+.2)*Q;
        j--;
        _=$-j*.07-i*4;
        A=C(_+S(_*.8))*2+_*P;
        B=S(_*.7-C(_*Q))*3;
        x=C(A)*C(B)*M-q;
        y=S(A)*C(B)*M-r;
        z=S(B)*M-u;
        k=x*n+z*o;
        _=z*n-x*o;

        else{v=0}beginPath();
        moveTo(k,l)

    I think this was a fantastic sizecoding contest, hugely successful with some great entries. And it wasnt demoscene! Some of the entries were stunning. My daughter played the winning entry for >1 hour. My only criticism is that all the winners were games and I believe this shows unintended bias. Judges should have picked at least one non-game out of those amazing entries.
