It's fucking parsley.
Music is a little painful, but fucking sweet indeed.

nice but audio hurts :(
the music is horrible. but the visuals are quite nice. so piggie.
Impressive effect. But seriously - my ears almost got blown away by that "music" ;)

MATRAKA BITCH!

JSYK...

Glimpses of MATRAKA were floating in my head for months until I could materialize it: I wanted to make a DEMO-ish 1k intro with a phat tune and effect, something out of this world for JavaScript 1k prods, set in space with an asteroid and stuff dancing around.

Once the voxel part was ready I tried various types of glitches, some "direction" ( the panning, morphing, type writer text, ... ) and was left with 10 days and about 100 bytes for the music. Playing with the JSON'ed point cloud as WAVE PCM was not giving this phat feeling I wanted. I contacted 4mat, who came up with the beat and melody. We tweaked this all a bit. Then came the crash cymbal and some more direction, colors, ... and it was called MATRAKA

Should have been released without "music" like that, would have been much more enjoyable. Great effect destroyed by annoying music. Pigface.

Is this really a JS compo?

Coz I can see there a Shockwave Flash Class Object , and ...that "PNG" bytes seems to be obfuscated SWF file..
added on the 2012-07-04 15:21:52 by JaK JaK
JaK: the uncompressed source is in the package.. it's just compressed as PNG, self-extracts the javascript code. no flash anywhere, don't know where you saw that.

It didn't work in my old Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.0.14 and Internet Explorer v7 in an old, updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine. What are the requirements to run this?
added on the 2012-07-07 09:16:17 by AntDude AntDude
This needs a browser that supports 2D Canvas, HTML5 Audio and WAVE files, e.g. any non-IE browser that is less than 2-3 years old.

Any somewhat recent of Firefox, Opera, Safari or Chrome/Chromium will do.
added on the 2012-07-07 10:02:21 by p01 p01

I think I need to improve on the audio and lighting for my next serious prod.


closed: Thanks! That's exactly what I was aiming for.


AntDude: What kind of computer do you have ?

I mainly developed MATRAKA on my Asus EEE with a 1.5Ghz cpu and simple nVidia card. With this particular setup ( HW and SW ) Firefox sucks really at 1-2fps while Chrome and Opera give a steady 5fps. ( IIRC most of time is spent in the HSL conversion, crazy ).

The compo machine at DemoJS was a an i5-2500k at 3.3Ghz. I have a similar machine at work and MATRAKA flies at 50-60fps there.

The OS shouldn't matter. What matters is the CPU ( because it's all done in software ), GPU a bit, and most of all that you don't use some kind of antique browser. As I said, any non-IE browser that's less than 2-3 years old should do. I tested MATRAKA in latest stable versions Opera, Chrome, Firefox.

Really like this one, and I'm still astonished these things are possible at all in JS - as I feel the language to be a quite ~wordy.
Also reminds me on the oregon trail 1k I saw once, though that one didn't have sound - and this feels a lot more polished, tune is actually enjoyable :)

You wizards you! <3

"Twisted pillar to ground transform" was the best, there's a reason for the low resolution I guess? And yes the treble slashed some eardrum here. :)
rulez added on the 2013-03-08 18:38:25 by Photon Photon
mog: Thanks. Well, this is basically the same technique as the Oregon Trail entry, a point cloud, but much more polished and with a procedural object.

Photon: Thanks. The low resolution is mostly a size optimization that also gives me more control over the resolution and aspect ratio of the viewport, but I agree, it's a tad too low res on. I will work on that for the next prods.

Unpacked version works fine, packed not with ff 22. Any hints what is going wrong?
added on the 2013-08-05 20:47:24 by Cj Cj
Cj: Most JavaScript 1k and 4k use PNG bootstrapping to pack/unpack their code and data into an HTML+PNG polyglot file. Mozilla changed its PNG handling in FF22. Up until then all the mainstream browsers ignored the last 4 bytes CRC in PNG files. But FF22+ require it. This means that older JS prods using PNG bootstrapping need to be repacked to cater for this change.

MATRAKA was 1005 bytes so that won't bump it above 1k. I just need to get a hold of the code, repack it and upload.
