Advent.js

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?

Did you find Alex's secret message yet? We've only shown a little here. For the rest, head on over: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

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

Did you meet Santa yesterday? He won't be hanging around long! Pop behind the door and say ho ho hello: 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

Did you make any snowflakes for yourself yesterday? Show us some pics if you cut anything out! 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

Did you get a chance to enjoy Terry's beautiful festive maze yesterday? Well the decorations are still up here so pop inside and have a peek now: 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

Did you have a chance to chat to Santa yesterday? If not, it's not too late to ask your burning questions: adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

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 😊

Did you solve Ludipe's puzzle yesterday? Take a little coffee break if you need it today and find the hidden snowflake. adventjs.itch.io/adventjs-2024

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

Did you have a chance to gather round the talking Yule log with loved ones yet? If not, Fede's charming and only slightly antagonistic firewood is still waiting: 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

If you need a little sunlight today, make sure you pop behind Everest's door on the calendar: 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

Did you go outside with Adoné and plant any trees yesterday? There's still plenty of time to do it today for the solstice!

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

To get to the other side! Hahah. Wait. No. That's not it. What you get is a Christmas cracker joke generator, take a peek: 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

Did you get a chance to enjoy Mads' digital snowstorm yesterday? If not, there's still plenty falling - and making some very interesting patterns. Find it 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
