If you click "try the preview" you can see that there's a pen tool but it doesn't seem to be implemented yet. Just rectangles so far, but you do indeed draw on the stage a la Flash/Animate.

But note that the point of an ECS is being able to dynamically change roles without recreating new entities. If changing a house into a houseboat means creating a new entity, then everyone who had a reference to the house would need to be i

Yes exactly - when tsc you really want code hints for an object, but tsc can't guess its type, you can do: /** @type {import('../index').Engine} */ this.engine = engine Most of my projects have a g

Dynamically though? The attraction of ECS is that your house can start and stop being a boat as needed.

Lately I've gotten into the habit of giving my pure JS projects a tsconfig.json file, so that my editor runs the files through tsc and I get all the code hints and errors it reports. I find that as long as the code is reasonably straig

This seems like a very strange position to take. For one, I think what you're attacking here is usually called "descriptivism", as opposed to prescriptivism. Relativism is already a term of art in linguistics for something un

From checking the video, it's the default export of one of the project's core libraries. I gather it's meant to be in scope for all use of the project.

(assuming you're really asking) It's because JS has a notion of array elements being "empty", and the map operation skips empty elements. Basically "empty" means the element has never had a value assigned to it

Great point, I'll edit my comment to say "(or its equivalent)", instead of "(that precise sequence of characters, no matter what you've redefined true and false to be)". Not sure why I originally wrote it that

The issue there is that arrays aren't first class types in JS, they're just objects with numeric property names. So if applying an operator to arrays spread the operation across all the elements that way, it would imply that the s

Yeah, a lot of these have nothing to do with JS. I have no idea what the site is trying to accomplish. I mean: !!!true In what language does that (or its equivalent) not evaluate to false?

The speeds are different - the right one smoothly goes from stationary to the target speed, while the left one appears to speed up and then slow down again. It's explained further down the article.

You're welcome to think so, but that doesn't change the fact that Dan Brown was unambiguously purporting to communicate factual reality. More so that Gladwell, in fact - I don't think any of Gladwell's books ever had a &

Great article. Gives me flashbacks to the time someone sent me a link to a newly-released version of Minecraft, and it turned out to be using my own voxel engine. :D (No credit of course, and the marketing copy around it made it sound like
