It sounds like this is essentially what Joyent's Manta is, which we've been using in production for the last year and have found to be absolutely fantastic. Are there differences that I'm not seeing?

This is pretty great! We've put a lot of work into text for our HTML5 game development, yet our canvas-rendered text is still quite limited in functionality. Using a library like this is going to save us loads of time and really open t

We are heavily using it in production on http://casinorpg.com (not a common use-case, but it works well for us). Basically, when a player creates a new character, they are able to customize out of millions of unique possibilitie

The one we used was called "Road to Hana GPS Driving Tour," but it looks like there's a long list of them under the GPS Tour Guide name.

My wife and I used an app similar to this on our honeymoon in Hawaii. We had the option of paying $300 for a guided tour, or paying $5 for an app and going our own pace. The app made that day one of the highlights of the trip.

The postal service should be worried about 3D printing. Once mainstream home usage becomes commonplace, you would think shipping volume could drop substantially as people begin to buy things online that then instantly print without a need f

How does this compare to Luma? I've been using that app for a few years now and it has been great, though it doesn't work well in low light.

Somewhat frustrating that searching for "Google Analytics" on the iOS store doesn't return this app until #13.

That's a good point, but Square and Stripe aren't really competitors, so I'm not sure what the opportunity is for Stripe (unless you are suggesting they launch a card reader).

You can use this tool for any repo, not just GitHub repos. We have a mixture of non-GitHub and GitHub hosted repos that I manage all within GitHub for Mac. When they first released this I was actually using Beanstalk, but still used the Git

This is one of around 4 or 5 applications that I have open 100% of the time on my Mac. I still use the command line for some things, but for the most part I've saved massive amounts of time (and prevented a lot of bugs thanks to the vi

Solid green background? I'd be really curious to know what page you are talking about as I can't think of any page or screen that is solid green besides the felt on the poker/blackjack tables.

This is an MMO, it requires registration, but we display information, screenshots and video about the game on the main page. This link is also the guest view, which lets you see inside one of the casinos live without needing to be logged in

Sorry you had to go through all of those hoops, had never seen that issue or had it reported before. I think I've found the problem and fixed it now anyway. Our early player flow certainly has some issues that we are putting a lot of w

Thanks, looks like there's an error in the guest view from a recent update, should have the updated soon. As to the looping you are referring to, that one is stumping me at the moment as none of us here are able to get that behavior to

Hmm, not seeing the looping issue you are referring to in Firefox. The game is an MMO, so we need some way to keep track of your player and sync with everyone else.

What version of Firefox? The game works on every browser newer than IE8. As long as there is HTML5 Canvas it should work. That being said, Firefox does tend to have the worst performance of all of the major browsers.

We don't really have a good solution so far. We mainly try to avoid the network tab, but if we must use it, we pause the game to free up some extra resources and generally it won't crash.

Ha, I guess I could have phrased the title a little differently. That would be fun though too!

Interesting, haven't heard a report of that before. Looks like you got automatically cleared out of that table now though.

by james33 12y ago
Yeah, that has actually been an issue for us during development. Something like this requires quite a few more assets than a normal webpage, and clearly Chrome's Dev Tools don't handle that too well.

Yes, we actually first built a social gaming platform ( https://goldfire.me ) and built this game around that. Through the platform we monetize with virtual currency purchases and an optional monthly subscription, though we'v

We are using a modified version of the Isogenic Game Engine and a little over 2 years of work (there's a whole open world outside of the casino floors).

How does anything get on that list then if nobody ever sees the 1-point submission (without asking for votes).

If your site has gotten "so big," are you really still going to be using Heroku?

How is it being too clever? That is one of my favorite things about the site. If you want to quickly check the comments, you can without leaving the page. If you want to open a few to check later, you can just Cmd/Ctrl+Click the comme
