Tweetcoding: Round 1 Winners
Hooray, I'm a runner-up in the first Tweetcoding contest. My entry "Ghost Marquee" placed in the top 4. The code extracts certain bits from a string of jibberish, 6 bits at a time; when arranged on a grid, the bits form a message.
Also I had 2 notable mentions with Sea Sphere and 3D Sketch. I figured my entry The w00t Quilt would have placed, but perhaps I'm just easily hypnotized...
I think the strongest entry was Diagonal Snake by @tomee6, which is (not coincidentally) also one of the winners. Move the mouse to attract the snake; you lose when the snake crosses itself or touches you. There's even a death animation. Amazing.
Here's looking forward to round 2...
