Snow in canvas land

Other people's code is awful, and your own code from months previous counts as someone else's. With this and the festive spirit in mind, I dug up a canvas snow demo I made two years ago to see how bad my code really was.

Turns out the performance landscape has changed quite a bit, but after applying a couple of workarounds, best practices, and memory management, I got the demo running smoother than it ever did.

Ugh, I can't believe I just wrote "performance landscape". Anyway...

How does the demo work?

mlgill / New reminder from Launchbar
Last active May 18, 2021 13:19 — forked from Jayphen/New reminder from Launchbar
A script for quickly adding reminders to the Reminders app in Mountain Lion from Launchbar and Alfred. Save this as a .scpt and drop it in ~/Library/Application\ Support/LaunchBar/Actions
--Script for setting Reminders for LaunchBar and Alfred
--For Alfred, Applescript must NOT be set to run in Background otherwise date parsing does not work
--For LaunchBar, place the script in ~/Library/Scripts/LaunchBar
--by Michelle L. Gill, 10/07/2012
--Inspired by https://gist.github.com/3187630
--A related Alfred version 2 workflow can be found here: https://github.com/mlgill/alfred-workflow-create-reminder
--Changes
--02/01/2013 * Fixed an issue with setting the time when the hour is 12 and AM/PM (12-hour clock) is used
-- * Removed the ability to set seconds for the time since Reminders doesn't recognize them
