On: Bouncing Beholder: JS1k winner explained

[binomial]

I can't help but say that I think that there were more deserving demos, in terms of how impressive/fun they were compared to the winner, though I'm glad to see the chess one up there. Not to knock the winner though, it's also a good demo and probably won because of better cross-browser compatibility or something.

Did you read the explanation? I thought the context method abbreviations was brilliant.

The chess one got second place. I like it too, but it was not really a "playable" game, more a demo of some cool hacks.

I DID however find it interesting that none of the top three were the visualization demos which seemed to make up a majority of the entries.
