There are no more doors to open for Advent.js 2024! But we do have one last thing to show off, which is our beautiful evolving homepage, made by co-organiser @vividfax.bsky.social, who led all the technical development and design for the calendar. Did you notice it changing across the month?

The advent calendar ends today! I hope you enjoy a little thing I made for the last day. ⛸️⛸️☃️🎄

It’s the last day of the calendar today! Mike Cook (@mtrc.bsky.social) is taking us to the local park to celebrate. Come and join us behind Door 29 to celebrate the end of an amazing month of digital art! adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Alex Johansson said he had something important to tell us but we can’t find it anywhere. Maybe you can help us? It should be behind today’s advent calendar door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Ho ho ho hoooo! Make sure you turn the sound on for today’s calendar door, because David King (@d-king.bsky.social) has a festive little surprise for you hidden behind it… adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

If you didn’t get any snow this December, or if you did and wish it was maybe a bit less cold, Alisha Wouda Deshmukh has a beautiful alternative for you behind today’s door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Ho ho ho

It’s Christmas Day! That means we’re not in the Advent.js office today, so we asked Terry Cavanagh (@terrycavanaghgames.com) to install a new screensaver for us. Maybe you can pop it on your TV or computer today too while you’re eating lunch or opening presents? adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

I had a lot of fun making my door 😄 Thanks @vividfax.bsky.social @mtrc.bsky.social for bringing us artists together and making this beautiful calendar for us! I wanted to experiment with making some word soup that would accidentally conjure moments of bizarre beauty. I hope you like my attempt 😊

At Christmas time children all around the world ask Santa for gifts. But maybe Santa wants to talk about other things? Santa’s a complex individual with a lot of knowledge and expertise. Join Alistair Aitcheson (@agaitcheson.bsky.social) in asking Santa things today: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Has anyone seen Ludipe (@ludipe.bsky.social) recently? They left behind this wintry puzzle for us but we can’t figure it out. Maybe you can help? It’s behind today’s advent calendar door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Ah, for those of you looking forward to some holiday time with family this year, Fede (@kurainisei.bsky.social) has the perfect activity for you to do together! Advent.js accepts no responsibility for family arguments caused by use of this calendar: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

This was such a fun challenge, and the first time I've really programmed something by myself. Thanks @vividfax.bsky.social and @mtrc.bsky.social for hosting. Check out the rest of the delightful sketches.

Today is the shortest day in the northern hemisphere, a day with many festivals and feasts associated with it. Behind today’s door we have a little ritual for you too, from Everest Pipkin (@everest.bsky.social). Happy solstice, everyone: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

It’s snowy and dark outside - the perfect time for a winter walk through the forest. Adoné Kitching’s (@adonekitching.bsky.social) already got the coats and scarves ready. Let’s join her on a hike! Open today’s advent calendar door here: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

What do you get if you cross Claire Morwood (@shimmerglitch.bsky.social) with an advent calendar? Hmm. There’s no punchline here. Maybe it’s behind today’s advent calendar door… adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Today my contribution to @adventjs.itch.io opened up behind door #18: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

If you're enjoying our daily treats, there are some other advent calendars you might enjoy running right now! The Confounding Calendar posts a new puzzle game every day: confoundingcalendar.itch.io And there's a PICO-8 advent calendar of games and experiments: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=145...

There’s nothing quite like watching the snow gently settle outside in winter. Although this snow looks a little… different… somehow. I think Mads Johansen (@pyjamads.bsky.social) might have had something to do with this. Come behind today’s door to see: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Today’s advent calendar door comes from Sophie Artemigi who’s found some interesting, wiggly and bouncy new ways to wish people a Merry Christmas. Find your favourite behind today’s door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Very happy to be a part of Advent.js this year! This was my first attempt at making something in p5js and my first time making non-interactive generative art. It's a simple idea but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Thanks @vividfax.bsky.social for inviting me!

The temperatures are dropping fast here at Advent.js HQ, in fact it’s freezing out there! Wait, is that… Torfi (@torfi.bsky.social) outside in a hat and scarf? Oh he’s calling for us to join him. Let’s go see: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

We’re gazing at the night sky again tonight, and thinking about loved ones. There’s not enough stars up there though. Henry Driver (www.instagram.com/henrydriver_) has an idea though, and he says he’s left it behind today’s advent calendar door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Today is my turn in this advent calendar of tiny digital toys, put together by @vividfax.bsky.social and @mtrc.bsky.social adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024 Open door 14 for some randomly generated traditions, or try eg 13 (cosy), 3 (a little game), 2 (tiny lovely story) (Desktop only, sorry!)

Holly Gramazio (@hollygramazio.bsky.social) always has an interesting fact to share about folk traditions, although the ones she’s included behind today’s advent calendar door seem a bit… different. Take a peek and let us know what you think: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

If you’re feeling especially chilly from yesterday’s frolicking in the snow, then come on back inside because Jannik Boysen has been making something warm and cosy for us to enjoy, and they’ve left it behind today’s door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Oh my goodness! It’s snowing outside! And Kirsty Keatch (@kirstykeatch.bsky.social) is out there already calling us over. Let’s go see what she’s up to - it looks… angelic? We’ll find out the answer behind today’s door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

If you’re like us, you’re sick of getting excessively flammable Baby Yodas in your stocking. Fortunately Rourke Bywater (@rourke.bsky.social) has created a solution for Santa. Grab a clipboard and join us behind today’s door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

I got a little too ambitious despite not being familiar with p5.js and got rid of many features but kept the obnoxiousness 😈 enjoy!

Is that someone at the door? Can you check? Oh, it’s Nomi (@thenomi.bsky.social) and she’s brought a friend… make sure you have a few coins to spare before you click on today’s advent calendar door. Knock knock: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

If you’re in the northern hemisphere the nights are especially long at this time of year - perfect for stargazing with Marysia Tánska (@marysia-tanska.bsky.social), who’s made today’s advent calendar door. Gaze up at it right here: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Hello everyone! The advent calendar will be a little delayed while we figure this one out. ❤️

Decided to save this for my first Bluesky post! I had the opportunity to make something for Advent.js this year, hope you check it out and enjoy! Thanks @vividfax.bsky.social and @mtrc.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this, Merry Christmas ya [adjective][nouns]!

Time to curl up with a nice festive movie under a blanket. Mike Anderson (@gravykun.bsky.social) chose today’s movie, although it’s… not quite how I remember it. Grab the popcorn and join us behind today’s calendar door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

We’re already one week into advent! The days are getting shorter here, which means we need some light - Emily Koonce (@campemily.bsky.social) has just the thing behind today’s advent door. Hit it! adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Brr. Julia’s snowy scene from yesterday has left us feeling freezing! James Walker (patternclub.org/london/) told us he had something warm and cosy that would help today though. Pop through the door and see: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

I really enjoyed making the glitchy effects! Thank you for inviting me to participate in this year!

It’s feeling cold and chilly here in the UK, but it’s not quite snowy enough… Julia Makivic (@jmakivic.bsky.social) has a solution for that behind today’s advent door, but she needs your help. Glitch through today's calendar door to find out what's going on: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

We’re all hitting the skate park today, Santa’s gonna teach us how to do a 720 Sugarplum Stomp. Oh what? You don’t have a board? Don’t worry M Charity (@mastermilkx.bsky.social) has a bunch they can lend you. They’re behind today’s advent door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Please screenshot your result and show it to me, it would make me very happy. (this’ll only work on desktop fyi)

Behind today’s advent door is a tiny friend of Joon's (@joonturbo.bsky.social) who needs some help putting their Christmas decorations up. Why don't you take a peek and give them a hand? adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Have a look! 🌌 (best experienced via a computer/laptop!) Be sure to follow @adventjs.itch.io to catch upcoming creative coding projects 💻 Thank you @mtrc.bsky.social and @vividfax.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute ✨💜

Today’s advent calendar door is by Halima @halomedes.bsky.social - a night-time moment of reflection, thinking about unique experiences and memories. Stare at the night sky with her behind today’s calendar door here: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

I had so much fun tinkering on this! A big thanks to @vividfax.bsky.social and @mtrc.bsky.social for putting it all together. There are so many rad creative projects to look forward to, so make sure to keep checking in ✨

❄️❄️ The 2024 Advent.js Calendar has begun! 29 little daily gifts of art, games, writing and more, made by wonderful artists and designers. ❄️❄️ Click here to find the calendar on @itch.io: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

The Advent.js 2024 calendar is OPEN, and it’s time to hit the slopes with Ben McInnes @benmcinnes.bsky.social for our first day today! Click here to take a peek behind our very first door: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

Please do check out @adventjs.itch.io when it launches tomorrow! I had such a lovely time taking part last year, with an entry inspired by Frost Fair tickets. It's a celebration of creative coding (no generative AI here!) with interactive pieces made in p5.js

Can't believe it's already time for a new @adventjs.itch.io! Last year I was thrilled to be among the artists for the 2023 calendar (on day 10). It's such a fun community project. @vividfax.bsky.social and @mtrc.bsky.social are doing an amazing job bringing joy and wonder to creative coding.

We're less than 12 hours away from the launch of @adventjs.itch.io 2024!!! Our artists have once again blown us away with their creativity. Before we launch, I wanted to take a look back at last year’s calendar

We're back for another month of creative coding calendar goodness, starting in one week!!
