Bust a Shape
A collaborative, real-time tool for creating artwork in the browser. Inspired by @afragon's work with CSS live coding (see a video)
An experiment by Chris Ruppel and Afra Noubarzadeh.
Installation and Setup
Assuming you have node.js installed, just run the following commands:
npm install -g gulp
npm install
Now use gulp to run the server:
gulp start
It will open up the site in your default browser automatically. To really see the magic, open other browser windows and point them at http://localhost:3000, or load it on other devices using the same LAN (the "External" URL will be listed in console with your current IP).
Have fun!
Multiplayer art
Visit bustashape.com to try it out with others! Just like a video game, it works best when you have a fast connection with a low ping.
