The JavaScript Challenges

Introduction

Question: What is this?
Answer: Every week, a JavaScript challenge will be posted, and the community members will try to compete, not only with knowledge, but with creativeness, ideas and pontential.

Question: Why is this here?
Answer: I hope more people of the community will get into JavaScript. Besides that, people can download the applications or games made from here, and rate as well. Of course, people can learn from other people’s code, but not steal it.

Question: How do we enter, rate, and what are the rules?

Why? :smile:

It seems like a pretty boring “challenge”. And, I’m pretty occupied with OpenChat so I dont have the time.

Also, one week? One hour is enough for a choice game.

I would join if it were like “create a web crawler” or something. (no, lol i cant do that) Nah, if you ever get anything advanced like a HTML 5 game I will join. Only if you join too, I find it was too boring when the host decides to judge others content without doing anything.

But other than that, great idea! :smiley:

Who said I would not join? I’m have started working on it. Besides, you have one week to make it cool and good-looking, because I, am not as advanced as you. I need around 1 day to make it fully functional, and thanks to school, I’ve gotta divide it. Besides, you learn much in the process. I’ll just wait for someone else to submit, and then submit mine, once its ready. And in the next challenge, it may be more than a choice game. It’s 5 days this week, so I’ve got to rush a little bit. :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, what do you mean with web crawler?

#9

A web crawler is something that runs through the entire web and gets keywords etc. So when you search on DuckDuckGo, the web crawler gives you the information it gathered. Although this doesn’t use JavaScript :smiley:

#17

so ARE you going to change that rule?

#18

But…

#19

I. Am. Back. Have been gone for WEEKS. I apologize for that. Have been doing a lot of stuff. That is called: life. Anyhoo, I might try this as I know a little JavaScript. But I have been working on an iPhone game in Unity3D so no promises that I will do this. Sounds interesting though

could use node-webkit as well, although that might be some hassle setting it up
