Congratulations to all! I truly enjoyed the contest and seeing such creativity and talent.
I liked that this year there were some individuals who were new to the minihacks (as far as I'm aware) who made some really top notch entries (e.g. @Kaustubh's Doom entry, which blew my mind, @Matteo's crazy fireworks, both in the imagery and in the code, @Sonesson's progressively more complicated rubix cubes, @William Dean's submissions - the trefoil spring was excellent, but the expanding cube was mesmerizing, & @Malik's ability to code aesthetic animations). Also, in case people never caught on to it (I didn't until @Sonesson pointed it out in his discussion page entry), @Tomoaki Takagi piloted the truest hack of the event, which was sneaking image information into the hack by means of the sound clip. Which culminated in Rickrolling, of course. Congratulations to all, and thanks again to the judges!
Thanks to the judges, facilitators and the other contestants! I very much enjoyed looking at everyone's contributions.
Congratulations to all the participants!
I like the fact that the timing of the annual contest coincides very well with the beginning of the holiday season.I would also like to leave you with an idea for the next ones: a given space. We have been working with a "given time" through a sequence of frames, but we could have some kind of fixed "blank canvas" to fill. Or blank space, in 3D.
Have a wonderful holiday season everyone!
Or both varying in space maybe? varying camera positioning? :P
Unreal! Congratulations to all participants and organisers alike for this year's amazing contest :)
