Since we announced the new GUI builder work we got quite a few questions in the discussion forum and offline so I prepared a quick video showing how the new GUI builder will look when released (more or less). Notice that a lot of things will change with the GUI builder but some things are pretty much fixed such as the basic architecture with the XML to Java process. This is unlikely to change much.

Baffling space exploratory puzzle something something. Possibly the tiniest minimalist title screen yet. Looking a bit like a low rent NES-inspired Elite Dangerous here. That’s quickly dispelled once you arrive on the first planet. Except I can’t really say anything about the next few screenshots since it’s probably spoilery. (I will say that I had to resort to walkthroughs because they do a bloody awful job of letting you know what you’re ..

The future of web application development looks a bit different than what we are all used to. I'll show you how to build a simple full-stack JavaScript app using Node.js on the backend, React on the frontend, Webpack for client-side module support, and Netflix's Falcor as an efficient and intuitive alternative to the traditional REST API.

I like to think I’m pretty environmentally friendly. I try to minimize my waste , take quick showers, and not run unnecessary appliances, like heating and cooling systems. I’m definitely not a super earthy-crunchy-Hippie-type, but I’m at least vaguely cognizant of the atrocities I commit against Mother Nature. My main sin against the planet, aside from just being American, is the fact that I run errands in an 11,500 pound tank that gets 8 ..

This is the third and final instalment in a series on integrating 3rd party native SDKs in your Codename One application. If you missed the first two chapters, I recommend you begin with part one before reading this tutorial, as it provides much needed context for the procedures described here. Part 2: Implementing the iOS Native Code Part 1 of this tutorial focused on the Android native integration. Now we’ll shift our focus to the iOS i..

Puts me in mind of a weird cross between the creature innards levels of Loco Roco and Bugaboo The Flea. Simple - just bounce your way around the jelly floors to reach the curtains (or lift, later.) This is a cute level - to reach the curtains, you need to properly trampoline yourself with good timing to get a super jump. Just in case the player hasn’t realised this is possible, the little frog on the right is demonstrating.

Indirection is an extremely common programming technique. In fact, it's well known that all problems in computer science can be solved with an extra layer of indirection . Accessing data through a layer of indirection has some performance impact. The most important aspect of the performance impact however, is if the indirection is predictable . If the ultimately accessed data is accessed in a coherent order, even through a layer of in....

One of the big indies that I’ve somehow managed to avoid playing until now. I wonder if she has any kerosene Geezer has some cracking industrial strength drugs, it seems. Um, Lament Configuration, anyone? “We have such cubes to show you.” “This will seem like a memory of 2D!” etc. etc. Then the titular headwear arrives from the Lament giant Devil Square and Gomez can move 2D-wise through 3D. (It’ll make sense when you play the game.

In the last week, critical security flaws have been reported in TrueCrypt , the open source software for file and disk encryption. As a result, we are reviewing our advice on file and disk encryption and we now recommend users to consider other tools for secure file storage. What's wrong with TrueCrypt? Serious vulnerabilities were detected by Google zero-day researcher, James Forshaw, if an attacker has physical access to a device w....

HEAVY BULLETS (or “superneonshootybang” as I’m now going to call it) is kinda DOOMy but with a twist - you have a revolver, 6 bullets, and the only reloads you get are when you retrieve the ones you’ve shot. There’s some plot about something going horribly wrong, yada yada. Amusingly, the graffiti seems to be from a random selection of anti-corporate & anti-rich slogans. All the neon lushness makes me happy.

Codename One 3.2 is scheduled for Tuesday the 27th of October. In keeping with our successful 3.1 release we’ll use a very short one week code freeze on the 20th of October at which point we will only commit crucial fixes with code review. I hope we can land quite a few new features for the release, the GUI builder is getting very close although it’s still a very rough product and will only be featured as a “technology preview” showin..

Last weekend, the Python Hackathon Düsseldorf took place at trivago's office. Although we were only five people we had a lot of fun. I took the chance to brush up my Python skills a little bit. Also I wanted to scratch an itch that was bugging me for a long time: our housekeeping book.
