Posted on July 23, 2012 in Dev Derby, Featured Article, and WebGL

Last month, creative web developers from around the world showed us what they could do with WebGL in the June Dev Derby competition. After looking through the entries, our three expert judges—Guillermo Rauch, Peter Lubbers, and Rob Hawkes—have decided on three winners and two runners-up.

Not a contestant? There are other reasons to be excited. Most importantly, all of the entries are completely open-source, making them wonderful lessons in all of the exciting things you can do with WebGL today.

Dev Derby

Winners

Runners-up

Relatively few demos were submitted this time around, but the quality of the entries was outstanding. Each and every finalist has created something truly amazing, something that pushes WebGL forward in an inspiring way. And let’s not forget about the other jaw-dropping entries. Games, planets, maps, mirrors, and more — every entry is extremely impressive. Congratulations to all of our contestants!

Want to get a head start on an upcoming Derby? We are now accepting demos for the No JavaScript Challenge (July) and demos related to the Camera API (August). Get started today!

    I think Fluid should have one first place… its the coolest demo in my opinion!

    Slice/Drop looks like it has a JavaScript error if someone could fix it…

    The Select Files button is broken.

    Error: SyntaxError: syntax error

    Line: 1, Column: 35
    Source Code:
    javascript:document.getElementById(

    If you check that line you can see…

    That would work if it was:
    onclick=”document.getElementById(‘filebutton’).click();”
    instead of current use of single quotes for both inner and outter.

      Ugh. the line got stripped. I’d pasted the anchor. Seriously. How hard is it to escape instead of strip, people?
      ————–
      If you check that line you can see…
      [a class=’btn btn-inverse btn-large’ style=’vertical-align: super;’
      onclick=’javascript:document.getElementById(‘filebutton’).click();’]
      ————
      BTW. In View Source, that is helpfully highlighted in red.

      Also, this button has been broken at least since it was posted on planet-webgl.org in the July 5th roundup.

      Thanks for reporting this, Nemo! I recommend that you post your analysis in the comments section of the demo to make the author aware of it.

        That requires yet another registration.

    Hi,

    thanks for the report!! You know this error was created just before I submitted for the contest by replacing all double quotes with single quotes to make the code look nicer :/

    Anyway, I noticed it the day after or so and on http://slicedrop.com it is fixed.

    https://github.com/slicedrop/devderby/commit/3dc38e90d3228f3839b561abb2893bbef7b44f0e

    This was the simple fix.

    Thx+Cheers,
    Daniel

    Unfortunately, I can’t update the demo code:

    “You cannot edit your source code since the Dev Derby submission deadline has passed, but you may add or update the link and license.”

    But again, if you use http://slicedrop.com it is fixed.

    Thx.

      We’re looking into making it possible to update a Derby entry in the future.

      Sorry for the delay, Amit. One of our judges was unable to vote this month, and it took a while for me to find a replacement. In the future, I will be sure this does not delay the results.

      The winners were just announced. Thanks for your patience.
