As you might be aware, An Event Apart have been running a competition to find the best web app written in 10k or less. For the web-developmentally-challenged among you, (you lucky, lucky souls…), this isn’t a great deal of space to work with, so optimization is the name of the game!

You can see the gallery of apps here. There are some truly amazing examples of what can be achieved with a little creativity, and the standard of app on display is extremely high. (Although with some rock-star calibre developers entering the competition, this was almost to be expected!)

For our own entry, I recreated the game of Video Poker (with graphics from Allan).
