Happy Holidays... FROM SPACE! (JavaScript+HTML5 canvas eCard)

Hey,
I’ve been away for a while and figured it’s time to post something…

Here’s a homemade eCard for you made with JavaScript and HTML5 canvas:

It’s best viewed in Chrome as that’s the only browser that could handle 800+ twinkling lights (46% of my current audience). Everyone else gets a nice recorded version of it until other browsers catch up on canvas performance. :wink:

Lots of lessons learned on this one. If you’re bored and want to take a look at the code, I’m open for suggestions to improve anytime!

I’m thinking next year, I could embed this in a BeagleBone Black, employing node.js and sync music to a gingerbread house LED light show. Yeah!

Have an awesome day.

nice, but i really thought someone here was posting from space :frowning:

If anyone, I’d guess it would be @glosrfc!

haha actually thats exactly what I thought

hhfs

Really nice :slight_smile:

How long did you take you to do this? What tools did you use?
