Competition: show us the shiny for a chance to win a ticket to Full Frontal 2012 in Brighton, UK

October 24, 2012 · by Patrick H. Lauke

If you're serious about your JavaScript and fanatical about web app development, you should already be familiar with the Full Frontal conference. Missed your chance to grab a ticket for this year? Don't fret, we may be able to help...

Due to some scheduling clashes, we've got a spare ticket for the conference, as well as a place on Remy Sharp's "Mobile Web Apps" workshop...in all, two days of intense JS and web app knowledge (8-9 November).

Want to get your hands on the tickets? Here's the deal: in the run-up to releasing Opera 12.10, our desktop team been busy adding support for new standards (such as the Fullscreen API and the latest WebSockets protocol). We're currently in the process of getting a few simple demos ready to showcase these new technologies...but maybe you've already got a cool idea of how they could be put to good use. If so, we'd love to see what you come up with!

Make something awesome, and you'll not only get your 15 minutes of fame on our Shiny Demos site, but you'll also be in with a chance to snag the tickets to Full Frontal.

Updated deadline: Deadline for your submission (either as a link to your work – left as a comment on this blog post or tweeted to @ODevRel – or an actual pull request on the Shiny Demos repository on github) is the 2 November 2012 at 23:59 CET.

Good luck, and most of all have fun!

I guess ticket on a plane to Brighton and back isn't part of the deal?

http://tankwarriors.nodester.com/ (Needs Flexbox, unprefixed CSS3 transforms and obviously sockets and fullscreen support)

Use the "Join Game">"default" option. Don't create new games as the server does not yet delete games when all connections are lost.

It still needs lot's of work (like much less laggier movement prediction, tank collisions and "map moving"), but I hope it is a nice start. Don't judge it before dead-line as I will hopefully be working on it some more.

martin, i've had a play, and although it's a bit rough around the edges still, it's a great start! and congrats, the tickets are yours.

Martin, I seem to remember that our man with a plan Bruce Lawson will also be there (for the conference, not the workshop)

I'm glad the competition has ended, so my creation would not win. Behold - css only generic ribbon http://jsfiddle.net/tMXuC/

p.s: plus two issues added via bug report wizard while making this
