contestantOuch. We're sorry, that's probably the right edge of the map? We tried to prevent editing at the edges, that certainly needs improvement.
Good times! I enjoyed playing this -- made me laugh pretty hard.
I found the platform a bit too small. It would also be nice to differentiate the players by color or something.
Overall, nice job. Good times.
Very nice work! I can imagine using this at Heroku. I love the fact that you expose an endpoint to which I can POST. The design is simple and elegant.
More thorough documentations and examples would be great. Please email me if and when you keep working on this. Nice job!

contestantThank you, We intend to continue building it out. We saw a need at our current companies and decided that this is something that would be fun to build during the hackathon. We intend on having something that polls as a GET as well.
Documentation was the last thing we got out before the deadline, We have more documentation in the works :)
My favorite part of mod(face) is that it made me more conscious of my posture and alignment. I wanted the image to be as symmetrical as possible. Eventually, though, I just couldn't take the flashing any more and had to bail.
I got it working but couldn't beat the level. Too hard! I had trouble getting used to the lag.
Pretend the floor is lava! It is.
The captions are my favorite part.
My spacebar thumb is tired. I tried to get some kills but it was so hard.

contestantThanks!
We had a lot of fun with the difficulty level, actually. The bot, Joshua, is also set on extra difficult, since it is constantly moving either left or right, never stopping.
I like it. I've spent more time on this site than any other so far. I want to be emailed or something when one of the poems I worked on is updated. When is a haiku complete? Are there any complete haikus available for viewing?

contestantThanks for the vote! Our original design was to stop haikus at 5/7/5 but it felt inconsistent with the long-forms of the rest of the poetry types, so haikus are infinite too (they just continue in 5/7/5 groups, for example http://writesomething.jit.su/poems/CFAE97A6-1370-4390-BF88-76CBF533B73C/edit)
We talked about notifications but didn't want to spam everyone during NKO, so we'll look into doing that after the competition!
I didn't know about chrome://flags/ -- lots of goodies in there!
I got the car. That was nice.
I couldn't really tell if my mic was working though, and no one else was talking. I couldn't figure out how to get text-to-speech working either.
Very cool idea. This could be really fun, but I found the search interface very clunky, and was having a hard time interpreting the results; as I result I ended up not really finding good samples to play with. I got stuck trying to change the track length too.. I couldn't delete the input, only append to it. Also it made my macbook air get really hot, and I couldn't play on anything but Chrome.
Still I love the idea, and think this could be a great toy if it was cleaned up a bit more.
Nice work on the radial dials -- I've always wanted to programming something like that.

contestantthank you for the kind words! 48 hours is certainly not enough time to build a fully featured, multi user, DAW. We intend on continuing work on this after we've recovered from the sleepless weekend!
I don't find this useful.
oivoodoo
contestantYeah. for now it's obviously useless but anyway I took this button for my blog anyway. Also I haven't integrated sendgrid for example for some reasons. Anyway I spent a very nice time programming in this time using node instead of ruby.
I was able to play around a bit with Little SPAS, but didn't find its interface more convenient than writing code for a specific use case. I also can't really imagine a situation where I would need to consume github, twitter, youtube, and flickr all at once.

contestantHi Zeke, thanks for the comments. Those were just samples I picked, and this is something I would put out as a package that can be used on locally hosted projects or set up as a standalone service. It's not something that would come with a web interface. This was a gratuitous implementation for NKO. Each API uses an API Description stored in a JS module. Description's can be added and tweaked at will. The real benefit offered by SPAS is the caching and bundling.
I had fun reading other peoples' messages. Then this happened: http://cl.ly/image/3e253E283K2Z
