Small People 🌏

Small People is a weekend hack inspired by this Instagram post. It's an customizable little sandbox world with small people and their small conversations. Play with it at smallpeople.vercel.app.

Small People is written entirely in JavaScript. It renders everything using basic 2D Canvas APIs, and uses a custom algorithm to generate humans and their shadows.

Build and deploy

  • Run a server. Small People is a static single-page app. Use any web server (like node-static or python -m http.Server) to serve the project directory. I use python -m http.Server 10009 and go to localhost:10009.
  • Build the program. The entire source code for Small People is in bundle.js. bundle.js is the pre-compiled javascript file which the app loads.
