Do not build a game engine unless your goal is to be selling a game engine. If you're going to make a game that requires a game engine, use another engine that's already built. Lets put this in terms of web development: You would

You don't have to release it to the WORLD when you put it on a forum. For example, if it's web based, you can whitelist usernames/IPs. If it's a downloadable app, you can make it self destruct after a period of time or

Do you have any advice on how to put it in front of users to get feedback? Friends are good for a while, but they're biased. Just go on IRC and ask a few folks?

"When I say I started building a game, this isn’t strictly true – what I actually built was a graphics engine." This is really surprising to me. If you google for how to make your own game, the first thing you see is usually some

I can only guess you're reacting to me saying, "I like JavaScript because it lets me type less". Unfortunately, I didn't say that.

What's a promise? This article seems to assume you know that when you start reading. Here's my understanding: Sometimes in code you get into callback hell. A callback calls a callback calls a callback. Your code starts to grow

Nice answer. I've gone from Java->Haskell->Clojure->CoffeeScript. I was never fluent in Haskell->Clojure but I could get around. But being completely familiar with Java, CoffeeScript/JavaScript feels nice. I really

In what way is it flawed?
309.
by tieTYT 13y ago
Yeah I agree this is pretty scary. Two of my clojure projects on github are from when I was learning the language. I'm much better at clojure now, but the public facing code is junk because I was in proof of concept mode, not fluent,

I think by default it should sort by "all time" instead of "what's hot". But that's just me.

Actually I was asking about what you do when they ask how much you were PAID at your last/current job, not what to say when they ask why there's a GAP in your history. What do you say to that?

by tieTYT 13y ago
They ask. Are you just supposed to lie or refuse to answer?

I'm making a JS game right now and I'm using requestAnimationFrame in one loop that both updates and renders. I basically implemented that "fix your timestep" article with requestAnimationFrame as the call that does th

I'm interested in becoming a consultant (but haven't taken any action yet). My first question is if your article applies to people like me. I'm not sure if you're selling a product or you're selling your skills as

Yeah maybe you don't use JSON for config files that need comments, but that's because there's no documented way of how to put comments in JSON. The article solved the problem. Actually, I'm 100% playing the devils advoc

This guy gets it :) A familiar problem domain would have made the book very enjoyable.

I don't really get what your comment has to do with what I said. It seems like a strawman pretending I said, "This book is stupid, I read 100 pages and I still don't know how to make a game!" Or, "this book is stu

I didn't ignore them, that's why I eventually gave up. I really enjoyed the book material and the exercises I could understand. But when I ran into an exercise that made me feel like I need to take a non-programming course to co

by tieTYT 13y ago
The thing that really turned me off of this book is that the exercises are way more complicated than the material itself. They made me feel like an idiot and like I wasn't learning. To put it in terms of Kathy Sierra, this book didn&

Personally, if it tells me, "Don't vote for these 4 people" and I can only vote for 1-2 of them, I wouldn't mind. If it tells me, "Don't vote for these 15+ people", that's just noise and I wouldn&#x2

I'm pretty ignorant here. These only differ per state right? I mean a brute force solution would be to generate 50 of them and then you're done, right? You could link to the appropriate one directly.

Yes. Why are you thinking it might not be valuable?

I know. If you go to the link, the first thing it asks is for your zip code to give you a list of your representatives. The reminder would contain that list.

Here's what I want: A link that I can click on that will add a google calendar event to notify me with the list of representatives to vote AGAINST when voting season comes. I'm pissed now, but like all americans, I'll probab

The site is so simple I'm going to feel like an idiot if missed it, but is there a video of the gameplay? I'd rather see that before I give you my email/phone number.

To me it looks like a ZeroMQ client can be written in many languages so you don't need to know Clojure to use it. Therefore the article has an extra barrier to entry for understanding the content because more people understand OOP lan
