Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.
When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes. Hell yes. Immediately. But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why? Why me? What am I supposed
to say that's interesting? Something about Ruby, perhaps. Maybe the
future of it. The future of something, at least. That sounds
keynote-y.

List of JS game engines. You can find a wikified version at https://github.com/bebraw/jswiki/wiki/Game-Engines. Feel free to modify that. I sync it here every once in a while.

IMPORTANT! Remember to check out the wiki page at https://github.com/bebraw/jswiki/wiki/Game-Engines for the most up to date version. There's also a "notes" column in the table but it simply does not fit there... Check out the raw version to see it.

This table contains primarily HTML5 based game engines and frameworks. You might also want to check out the [[Feature Matrix|Game-Engine-Feature-Matrix]], [[Game Resources]] and [[Scene Graphs]].

# Native instrument comes with a huge library of sounds (The Maschine Library) for Maschine.
# Wouldnt it be nice if non-maschine owners can use these instruments?
# Lot of times when I see multisamples in directories, I'd like to have an .sfz soundfont for them
# (instead of playing it with some kind of massivegui vst/pluginplayer).
# A typical directory could look like :

# Samples/Instrument/Bass1/Bass1 c1.wav

Read keypresses from user in terminal, including arrow keys using pure Ruby. This has since been folded into a much more robust gem called Remedy. https://rubygems.org/gems/remedy & https://github.com/acook/remedy
require 'io/console'
# Reads keypresses from the user including 2 and 3 escape character sequences.

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on OS X

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on OS X

After finding a lot of other posts on the topic that didn't work out for me this one did the trick so I'm reposting for my own sense of self preservation.

Link to original article.

Copy the Virtualbox autostart plist template file to your system's LaunchDaemons folder.

sudo cp \

/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/org.virtualbox.vboxautostart.plist \
