Welcome to the grand unveiling of the CreativeJS website – collating the internet’s most incredible, inspiring and downright jaw-droppingly amazing JavaScript and HTML5 projects!
Chrome Experiments’ WebGL Globe
I don’t know about you but it seems to me that it’s a pretty damn exciting time for creative coding with JavaScript.
We’ve seen insane performance improvements in JavaScript. And what about canvas? A huge bitmap that you can draw whatever you want in? And now WebGL!? It totally blows my mind that you can render millions of triangles with JavaScript. JavaScript!
So that’s why I’ve set up this site run by me and a few friends. From now on, anything cool we find around the internet will be posted here for your enjoyment. We’re hoping it’ll become the go-to place to find exciting JavaScript demos, projects, games, and well, anything else that we think is awesome. So it’s pretty much a given that this site will feature some pretty damn inspiring stuff.
Seeing cool stuff is brilliant, but have you ever wondered how you’d go about programming things like that? I’ve been running CreativeJS workshops the world over, so there’ll definitely be an element of learning here. We’ll deconstruct some of the featured projects, and I also hope to write up select exercises from the courses.
So here’s where you can enjoy the fruits of the imaginative and resourceful JavaScript community members as they share their new found visual coding skills. We hope you enjoy it, and of course, please let us know if you find anything cool!

3… 2… 1… Error establishing a database connection. Amazing.
Going to keep an eye out on here, looking good guys!
haha never was there so much build up over so little huh? You can thank MediaTemple and their “upgraded” database for that little feature!
Can’t wait to see the stuff you find. Exciting!
Brilliant! I absolutely loved the countdown timer leading up to your launch – here’s to hoping featured projects will be similarly slick!

Cool news. Though I really don’t know where you guys take all the time from to open yet another blog/project. Already wondered when you do your CreativeCodingPodcast with Iain…
Wishing you luck and time to fulfill your master plan

running iOS 5 iPad will have to try again with a desktop computer, but the intro countdown worked fine.
That’s good to hear! If it can’t find WebGL it will fall back to canvas which has traditionally been very slow on iOS devices. Apple have enabled GPU accelerated canvas on iOS5, which is a massive improvement.
Cool stuff! Just wondering, is this a modified version of the default WordPress theme Twenty Eleven? Certianly looks like it
Yep, it is. At least for now. It was a good place to start while we launch the site and design it all at the same time
Looks great! Congrats on launching and I look forward to your content.
