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.
Four minor characters from 19th century epistolary novels break free on twitter and converse with each other as well as any other person who engages with them.

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....

I wanted a simple 'Like' button connected to my facebook fanpage. No stream, no faces, no counts, no nonsense. I couldn't find an easy and obvious way to do it. I spent more time than I would care to admit trying to figure this out and it turns out to be trivial. Go to Like Button developer tool. Set 'URL to Like' to your facebook page ( http://facebook.com/FacebookName ) Set 'Width' to '50' Uncheck 'Send Button' Choose 'Button Coun..

Jordan Mechner creò Prince of Persia 23 anni fa. Era il 1989 quando il gioco uscì per Apple II. Negli anni seguenti si sono succedute diverse edizioni moderne di grande successo, ma nessuna affascinante come l’originale (almeno non per noi, vecchi tromboni nostalgici). Pochi sanno che il codice sorgente originale era andato perduto. Mechner l’aveva cercato ovunque senza successo, perdendo ogni speranza di rintraccialo. Finché, proprio ier..

Over the past couple of days I’ve been experimenting with JavaScript lighting in Impact. It’s been…a process…and it is still very far from complete, but I feel like I’m making progress.
Oggi Microsoft annuncia una svolta che ha del clamoroso: Sono felice di annunciare che oggi rilasciamo il codice sorgente di ASP.NET Web API e ASP.NET Web Pages (Razor) sotto una licenza open source (Apache 2.0), e che continueremo a migliorare la trasparenza di tutti i tre progetti ospitando il loro codice sorgente su CodePlex (usando il nuovo supporto per Git annunciato la settimana scorsa). Ma quel che più conta, e che per un’azie..

Sometimes your code needs to call a static method in a 3rd party library and unit testing  suddenly becomes difficult, particularly when that static method requires context in order to work. Enter the insulating class (also known as a Facade). Create a new interface that declares a method with the same signature as the static method you want to delegate to Create a new Facade class that implements the interface Replace the calls to the ..
Hi all, So sat on the train back from London today I was frustrated to find that I couldn’t read any articles on the BBC News Mobile app. This was swiftly followed by the realisation that I would have to fix this ASAP and the cancelling of my plans for the evening. I’m going to look to publish a fixed version this evening and hopefully it will get through the certification process in the next few days. In the meant time please be patien..
I’ve been doing a lot of work with timers and multiple entity spawning, as well as modifying entity attributes on the fly based on player input. It’s been very interesting - and possibly the most interesting part is that it hasn’t been that hard. Yet. That’s a very present “Yet”, just so you know. It will get harder. To get my head around what has to happen in-game I’ve been sketching and jotting things down on paper in the notebook I origi..
Goodbye Bend - amerine.net - 14 years ago - eng
Goodbye Bend, Hello Portland! My wife and I have lived in Bend for nine years, last month we spent our last weekend there together and just spent my last few days in Bend working on Ruby on Ales 2012. When siting here reflecting on all that’s happened in that span of time it’s hard to not smile about all that we’ve done. The year 2003 feels so close yet it was nearly a decade ago… Everything we counted as part of our lives was in or nea....
Over time, I've started noticing a trend: as humans we have a great aversion to pain. Okay, that doesn't really make me a master of the human mind, but it's still a starting point. Hearing this, an appropriate response would be suprise: how could it have possibly taken that long for me to come to that realization? I suppose the real issue isn't that people don't like discomfort, but that I'm starting to see the things that people are willin..
