The Secret to Creating Fun Games I Learned By Making 50 Games in a Year

... is that there isn't one.

This just got linked to by the Y combinator news account, without proper context,
so a brief introduction: A month ago (end of May / early June 2014) I had a
Twitter conversation with a bunch of acquaintances. One tweet in the middle
of that thread, with obligatory hyperbole, was me saying that I think VR is
bad news.

Well, that part of the thread (but not the rest that provides context) recently
got retweeted, and then someone asked me if I could explain what I mean by that,
and because Twitter is a great platform for delivering 140 character slogans and
not so great for lengthy explanations, I wrote this. So, obligatory disclaimer:

  var obj = null;

  function nonEmpty() { return !isEmpty() }
  obj = {
    map: function (f) { return isEmpty() ? obj : maybe(f(value)) },
    getOrElse: function (n) { return isEmpty() ? n : value },
    isEmpty: isEmpty,
    nonEmpty: nonEmpty

React + Typescript Cheatsheet

Setup

If you use atom... download & install the following packages:

• atom-typescript
• linter-tslint

What are Typescript type definition files? (*.d.ts)

package main

import (

)

func redirect(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

    http.Redirect(w, r, "http://www.google.com", 301)

Converting libraries to Ember CLI addons

In this guide we will cover two main cases:

• Ember specific library
• vendor library

Ember library

The Ember library will assume that Ember has already ben loaded (higher in the loading order) and thus will assume it has access to the Ember API.

Components are taking center stage in Ember 2.0. Here are some things you can do today to make the transition as smooth as possible:

• Use Ember CLI
• In general, replace views + controllers with components
• Only use controllers at the top-level for receiving data from the route, and use Ember.Controller instead of Ember.ArrayController or Ember.ObjectController
• Fetch data in your route, and set it as normal properties on your top-level controller. Export an Ember.Controller, otherwise a proxy will be generated. You can use Ember.RSVP.hash to simulate setting normal props on your controller.

function particle(step, style, t)
    local newStyle = step(style, t)
    return {
        style = newStyle,
        next = function()
            return particle(step, newStyle, t + 1)
        end
    }
