DevArt Template is a starting point for artists entering the DevArt competition, a collaboration with Google that celebrated creative coding. Instead of building a project page from scratch, you fork this repository and use it as your canvas. Every time you update your code or write about your progress, your project page on the DevArt site updates automatically, giving you a public-facing showcase that evolves alongside your work. The template is organized into a few simple folders. You write your project description in a markdown file, drop images into an images folder, list the technologies you're using in a small configuration file, and add progress updates as dated blog-style posts. There's also a folder for your actual source code. The whole thing uses basic text formatting that renders into a clean web page, so you can focus on your art rather than wrestling with web development. This is designed for artists who work with code and want to document their creative process openly. Someone building a generative animation, a data visualization piece, or an interactive installation could use it to share early sketches, iterate in public, and show judges not just the final result but how they got there. The template encourages frequent posting, at least five progress updates are required for judging. A few things stand out. Projects must include at least one Google technology to be eligible, and everything goes through moderation before appearing publicly. The template also asks for a specific cover image size to ensure your work appears properly in the gallery. The deadline mentioned in the README was March 2014, suggesting this was part of a time-bound competition rather than an ongoing tool.
