Box2D, you are torture. - liza.io - 14 years ago - eng
I haven’t posted many any updates over the Easter break because I’ve been busy ripping my hair out with Box2D.
At the start of this year I made some New Years Resolutions. I thought I’d review how I was going after 3 months. Weight – Unchanged. Doing a bit of work here but obviously not enough, at least it is not going up. Driver License – Not started yet Chess – Done a lot of … Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions – 3 month progress report
Main Theorem: There exist optimal stackings for standard two-player Texas Hold ‘Em. A Puzzle is Solved (and then some!) It’s been quite a while since we first formulated the idea of an optimal stacking. In the mean time, we’ve gotten distracted with graduate school, preliminary exams, and the host of other interesting projects that have been going on here at Math ∩ Programming. And so months later, after traversing the homotopic hills of to..

I read an article on Ars Technica yesterday that didn’t sit too well with me: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/04/what-ever-happened-to-the-american-arcade/ Now don’t get me wrong…..I thought it was a great article, and they did a good job of portraying the difference between Japanese and North American culture when it comes to video arcades (which are still very popular in Japan but have pretty much disappeared in North America outs..
It just occurred to me that the following might be possible, and not only is it possible, Eclipse already does it. Normally IDE auto-complete works forwards , i.e. you declare your variables, and then when you come to use them, they are suggested. But it can/does also work the other way around . You use a variable which is undefined, then place your cursor above the usage and start to declare it, and it fills in name of the variable y..

After months of waiting for a US visa, I share my journey from freelance to full-time indie developer and the creation of PSPDFKit.
My ex-project and I had been together for ten months. We had our fair share ups and downs, particularly in the early days, but over the last few months we had settled into a nice routine. It wasn’t particularly exciting any more but at least it was predictable. And then yesterday I was asked to lead a troubled project. It’s only six months old and already has quite a few warts, and it limped across the line into UAT last week. My first in..
freenode will be upgrading their services very soon. One of the major new features that this upgrade will bring is the ability to identify using ssl certificates. Here's a very quick guide on how to get started.

Reboot - steipete.me - 14 years ago - eng
This post marks the reboot of my blog where I plan to share iOS development insights and personal thoughts.
One of the SoundCloud API’s most powerful features is the timed comment. At its core it seems simple enough: a piece of text associated with a point in time for a particular track. But where you see timed opinions, I see a light-weight game scripting engine. So when Johannes Wagener told me he was adding an event to our JS SDK, I immediately began work on Wave Raid: Quest for the Timed Comment.

Hi all, Just a heads up that I’m moving my email provider, hopefully all goes well but you may see some mails bounce during the transition. Don’t panic I’m still here working away and will be back to answering support emails soon, or at least trying too - huge numbers at the moment due to the app issues.
Fun per genre - MMORPGs - liza.io - 14 years ago - eng
I’ve been thinking about different game genres and what draws people to prefer one over another. What are the distinctions that make someone enjoy one type of game more than the next? I figured I’d think about each genre separately and define what makes it fun for me and why I think people in general might be drawn to it. Originally I was going to dump an overview of thoughts on all genres in this post, but I’m finding myself mulling so muc..
SoundCloud is teaming up with Acapela Group for our first Developer Contest. Acapela Group offers amazing text to speech solutions and have a variety of SDKs so you can write apps that create sound files using one of their voices (including hip-hop and country!). Take a listen to some sample voices. We’re calling on our developer community to mashup SoundCloud and Acapela. Show us what you can do using a text to speech service with the best..

Whenever I am about to start integrating with a new API, I like to walk though the steps with cURL. For those of you who have been living
I am half asleep right now, but feel like quickly writing this down today instead of tomorrow. And holy crap I just realized it’s 3:40am right now, so I guess “tomorrow” would have technically been today regardless. Anyway, today (now yesterday) was productive. I not only did a lot of work on the game itself, but also worked on documentation. Even the process of compiling a document outlining the core functions being used in the different c..
Last night I did no work on the game. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Instead I had pizza, played some games, and then promptly fell asleep. I didn’t realize how tired I was after 4am-2am-whatever-am nights over this weekend, and really the past few weeks, until I passed out in front of my PC while ordering an artillery assault. I needed the one-night’s rest. As a result today I’m awake and ready to get back into it.
Codecademy propone da ieri un corso gratuito e interattivo su HTML e CSS. Il corso, per principianti, si affianca a quello ormai collaudato (e recentemente ampliato) su JavaScript. Il meccanismo è quello della  gamification , con tanto di punteggi e badge da conquistare man mano che si raggiungono obiettivi prefissati . Presto dovrebbe uscire anche un corso su Python.

Back in September 2011, a group of McMaster business and engineering students started a project aimed to build a moon rover that would be run by the QNX operating system on a BlackBerry PlayBook - a Canadian initiative with Canadian technologies (QNX is 100% Canadian).

Busy day yesterday! Got a lot done. Switching light source from one entity to another proved to be surprisingly quick and easy. I was done with my emitter attribute in no time.
Hi All, Just finished working on the more complete fix. More importantly, the fix that I completed on Tue 27th has been approved by the marketplace and should be available to everyone soooooooooooon, once the changes have propagated through the marketplace systems. Hopefully this should be around Monday but I’m still at the mercy of the marketplace, in the meant time you can try and force the update but I’ve not had any luck so far with t..

Got a bit more sleep last night - went to bed at 2am instead of 3-4. The lighting saw a lot of progress. I think all of the core functionality we need thus far is in. There will be tweaking of lighting levels etc, but in terms of what it can do - it’s pretty much all good for the time being, although I’ve accounted for the possibility that we may need to add more to this later and made sure the code is fairly flexible. This meant that l..

A separate monitor is handy for showing tests results continuously while working. The paintbrushes are strictly optional. What follows is a somewhat rambling introduction to continuous, test-driven development, focusing mainly on Python and influenced by Clojure tools and philosophy. At the end, a simple script is introduced to help facilitate continuous TDD in (almost) any language. For the last four years I have increasingly foll....
