Open Call results: doodle your way to GDD
By Phoebe Peronto, Developer Marketing Team
On Tuesday, August 2, the Open Call HTML5 Challenge for Google Developer Day 2011 kicked off. With 2 weeks time to turn around a submission, participants were asked to design and implement an original HTML5 doodle of the Google Developer day Dymaxion map, adding their own local twist. Doodles had to be built using open web technologies (HTML5, WebGL, etc.) and feature a theme locally relevant to the participant’s GDD host country.
We received submissions from eight countries around the world, which were then reviewed by panels of local HTML5 experts. Overall, the judges were blown away by the creativity and innovation of the submissions. Top entries were selected from each country based on technical execution, creativity, and cultural theming. See below for the judges’ top picks, with descriptions in the creators' own words. Some of the comments are in the creator's native language; for translations, use Google Translate.

Argentina
How did you do it? Just used html5 canvas to do very simple game functionality and transitions. The Dymaxion map turns into an Argentinian flag when the player takes the sun into the map centre.
How did you do it? I had to made a simple polygonal animation with background music, so, I've used Raphael 1.5.2 - JavaScript Vector Library for loading and display figures (SVG), and I've used jQuery with Runloop plugin for looping animation; the result is an HTML5 based animation with so few lines of code. The background music is possible with HTML5 <audio> element.
