Bugs in Hello World
Hello World might be the most frequently written computer program. For decades, it's been the first program many people write, when getting started in a new programming language.

How I made a 3D game in only 2KB of JavaScript
My entry, Hue Jumper, is an homage to 80’s racing game rendering technology. The 3D graphics and physics engine was implemented from scratch in pure JavaScript. I also spent ungodly hours tweaking the gameplay and visuals. Frank Force's 4400-word description (plus code!) for a driving game. [more inside]
