Small HTML

Compo case

This year, the example code is much smaller and harder to crush. We hope you will enjoy working on it. The task for the Small HTML competition at The Gathering 2012 is as follows:
The assignment is to create a sunflower fractal made out of hearts, and using the following conditions:

• The effect as rendered on the screen must use a resolution of 720x720 pixels.
• The effect must not be animated - we want a static image.
• The colors can not be changed.
• The hearts should be easily recognizable and distributed evenly as the example shows.
• It should have the exact same amount of hearts as in the reference code.
• The effect does not have to be identical to the reference implementation, but should look mostly like it, if in doubt come to the Creative Helpdesk and ask.
• To avoid this turning into an image optimizing competition, base64 or similar image encoding tricks are NOT allowed. If in doubt, come to the Creative Helpdesk and ask us if your entry is valid.
